Wiencont Gmbh

What Wiencont Gmbh does

WienCont Container Terminal Gesellschaft m.b.H. operates Austria's most handling-intensive trimodal container terminal at the Port of Vienna Freudenau (Freudenauer Hafenstraße 8-10, Vienna). Founded in 1980 and operating continuously for 45 years, the company combines rail, inland waterway (Danube), and road transport on a 200,000 m² site equipped with 3 gantry cranes and 15 container stackers, and handles more than 500,000 TEU per year with a stated 24-minute average truck transit time. The company is a subsidiary of Hafen Wien GmbH (91.68% ownership), with minority stakes held by CN Logistics and Service Group GmbH (4.16%) and Hupac AG (4.16%).

The business is organized around three core service pillars — Terminal Handling (Umschlag), Depot Services, and Container Trading — supported by Container Repair, Location Services (stuffing/stripping, warehousing), and pre-/onward-carriage. The 10,000-TEU depot supports storage, inspections, and ~15,000 repairs annually; the trading division holds ~500 containers in stock and delivers custom builds (e.g., for T-Systems, KTM Motocross). The technology stack centers on an Oracle APEX customer webportal for bookings and order management, a unique Schwungeinfahrt (swing entry) infrastructure design, and a Terminal Control Center operating 24 hours. WienCont is ISO 9001 certified (TÜV Austria), a klimaaktiv partner, and has invested in on-site photovoltaic generation since 2023.

WienCont monetizes operations primarily through per-unit handling tariffs (€44.40 land/lift; €93.70 water/lift), per-calendar-day depot storage (€4.10–€16.60 depending on container size and full/empty), SOLAS weighing (€96.50 per weighing), repair services, last-mile road carriage (€190 per train direction), and container sales and rentals. Go-to-market is direct B2B with shipping lines (CMA CGM, Maersk, MSC, Hapag Lloyd, Cosco, ONE), railway operators (Hupac, METRANS), road hauliers (LKW Walter), and freight forwarders, supported by a sales-led motion, industry association membership (UIRR, CombiNet, Pro-Danube), and the digital webportal.
