Luka Koper reports growth in key cargo segments

The Container Terminal delivered strong performance. Throughput rose by 12%, reaching a new record of 1,272,161 TEUs. Growth came mainly from new business linked to supplying production facilities in hinterland markets. Reconfigured shipping services from the Far East and within the Mediterranean also supported volumes.

The Car and RO-RO Terminal handled 914,817 converted units, narrowly missing the 2023 record. Throughput increased by 3% year on year, driven by higher vehicle imports from China and growing exports to Mediterranean markets.

Throughput of general cargo declined. Lower volumes of timber, rubber, and iron and steel products weighed on results. At the same time, demand for project cargo continued to grow. Bulk cargo volumes also decreased, mainly due to lower iron ore throughput.

Total maritime throughput reached 23.0 million tonnes, in line with 2024 levels. The port received 1,751 vessels, slightly fewer than the year before. Rail and road activity increased. Luka Koper handled 20,886 trains, 270,516 rail wagons, and 490,819 trucks. Despite rail infrastructure upgrades, rail strengthened its position, accounting for 51% of total throughput.

Based on preliminary and unaudited data, Luka Koper, d. d. generated EUR 376.5 million in net sales revenue in 2025. This represents a 15% increase compared with 2024.

Revenue growth was driven mainly by higher container and vehicle volumes, as well as increased storage income.
