Port of Koper
The Port of Koper is a major European port with major road and rail links to Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Eastern Europe. Through our partners there, we can offer a global service by container effecting collections to from and from e.g. Canada, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, the United States etc.
John Shirley ship part loads to Albania and Montenegro via the Port of Koper. Many of our hauliers are based in Ljubljana, Maribor and Novo Mesto and we use them to make collections and deliveries in nearby Italian towns such as Udine, Venice, Trieste, Vicenza, Belluno and Brescia for the U.K. and France.
Geographical Position

For example, there are deliveries of Italian marble to Moscow and/or Russia in general, and countries beyond such as Kazakhstan. From the other direction, destinations include the Scandinavian countries.
