Within the study visit to Austria, on Friday, 20 November 2015, the teaching staff – members of CIP/EIC UNZE and a group of students visited one of the most modern cargo centers in Europe – Cargo Center Graz (CCG), which has, as a part of the logistics chain: the port of Kopar – CCG – the European Union (Antwerpen, Rotterdam, Lubeck, Hamburg), specialized in the container reloading and dispatching the goods from Asia to the end customers throughout Europe. With the modern railways and highways, together with the moder systems of downloading, reloading and storaging (more than 600 containers daily), CCG has grown, in only 12 years of its existance (founded in 2003), to the impressive 45 hectares of space needed for its diverse activities. Also, CCG is one of leaders in terms of logistics activities for the area of Styria as the industrial center of Austria. After this presentation of CCG’s activities, the guests went to visit the dispaching areas for textile goods, and also, they saw several highly equipped storage spaces. We would like to thank to the management of CCG for the pleasure which they expressed to the staff of CIP/EIC UNZE, and especially, for the invitation to the academic staff and students to continue, in the coming years, this praxis of visiting.
