Next to sea ports, logistics centers constitute central units of national logistics network, which enable its connection to the networks of neighbouring countries and allow its incorporation into the logistics macrosystem of Europe. Logistics centers can be realized after various implementation models, which were discussed. This paper presents the nearest similar assemblies of logistics infrastructure outside Polish borders which can be used as joining elements with the national logistics network. An opinion was formulated on the function of logistics centers in the aspect of the growth of transport comodality, as stipulated by the EU, and restrictions resulting from the structure of national logistics network were pointed out.
