Maritime transport is a key mode of transport in carrying bulk, general, and liquid cargo between the continents. This mode of transport is important not only for maritime but also for inland countries. The Slovak Republic is the leading country in car production in the world. Nowadays, four world car companies have their assembly plans there, another is under construction. Most of the spare parts that are essential for car production are transported by maritime transport on an old trade route between Europe and Asia leading through the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Malacca. All logistics activities are carried out in maritime ports that play the role of logistics hubs. While the port of Rotterdam is significant for the countries of Western Europe, the port of Koper or the German ports (port of Hamburg and the port of Bremerhaven) are significant for the countries of Central Europe. Some of these maritime ports have already built fully automated container terminals to increase their throughput and reduce the downtimes of seagoing vessels.
