Success Story

Wiener Gesundheitsverbund at Hafen Wien

The logistics center supplies the clinics and care homes of the Vienna Healthcare Association with non-medical goods. The extensive product range comprises 32,000 items for medical and non-medical consumption. Of these, approximately 5,000 items are permanently stocked, while the remainder are fast-moving items.

Daily operations involve the dispatch of nearly 400 roll cages per day. Together with Hafen Wien, materials are received and recorded in goods-in, followed by storage in pallet or shelving locations. In the next step, based on requests from wards, items are picked into roll cages and subsequently delivered to clinics and care homes.

„The implementation of the logistics center has made a significant contribution to improving supply security, particularly in bottleneck situations. Through centralized storage and order picking, clinics and care homes have been significantly relieved, while logistics processes have been successfully standardized and digitized. We highly value the collaboration with the competent team and would like to thank them for the professional implementation.”

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE: GREEN LIGHT FOR YOUR CARGO

Customs clearance redefined – fast, secure, efficient

At the Port of Vienna, customs clearance is not seen as a mere procedural step, but as a strategic service that enables fast, efficient, and secure cargo flows. With a highly qualified team of experts and a well-structured system, every customs process is handled with the highest level of precision.

Two customs warehouses for maximum flexibility – the right solution for every requirement

The Port of Vienna site is strategically divided into two customs warehouse areas, each designed to meet different requirements:

  • Private customs warehouse: Located on the north and south banks (in the area of the Vienna Container Terminal – WienCont), this section is managed by TerminalSped and provides tailored solutions for private goods storage and customs clearance.
  • Public customs warehouse I: This area is directly operated by Hafen Wien and is ideally suited for companies relying on public customs processing and bonded storage services.

Both customs warehouses offer a high degree of flexibility, depending on whether imported or exported goods are involved. Their optimal location and close cooperation with the customs office ensure smooth and efficient clearance in all cases. 

Fully secure – your inventory is in the best hands here

Security is a top priority at the Port of Vienna. The site is fully fenced and monitored 24 hours a day. Additional safety is ensured by the immediate proximity of the Vienna Customs Office as well as an on-site police station. This guarantees that goods remain secure and protected at all times during storage and customs clearance.

Your benefits

Your benefits – efficiency, speed, and reliability

Customs clearance at the Port of Vienna offers numerous advantages:

  • Storage and holding of non-customs-cleared goods: These can remain on site without issue until re-export or full import customs clearance is completed.
  • Speed and efficiency: Close cooperation with the Vienna Customs Office ensures that your customs matters are processed quickly and without complications.
  • Highest security standards: Your goods are in safe hands at all times, thanks to continuous monitoring and professional security measures.

More than customs clearance – versatile logistics solutions under one roof

The Port of Vienna is more than just a customs clearance location. It provides tailor-made logistics solutions designed to meet individual requirements:

  • Storage and handling of goods: tailored to your requirements and processed efficiently.
  • Cross-docking: direct transshipment without intermediate storage for maximum efficiency
  • Order picking and repacking: tailored preparation for onward transport
  • Hafen Wien turns customs clearance into a seamless process that goes beyond merely moving goods through customs. It is about delivering a fast, secure, and efficient service that takes logistics to the next level.
