Navigating the Logistics World Through the Port of Koper: A Key Glossary

As a freelance interpreter, I recently had the privilege of working with Luka Koper team at the Slovenian Pavilion during Transport Logistic Shanghai 2026. In the process of my preparation for the assignment, I spent time studying Luka Koper’s corporate brochure – a rich and detailed document packed with industry-specific terminology.

This glossary is my attempt to capture and organise the key logistics and transport terms I encountered – both from the brochure and from the conversations I interpreted at the exhibition. Whether you’re a fellow interpreter, a logistics professional, or simply someone curious about how goods travel across borders, I hope this guide serves as a helpful reference.
