Port of Koper breaks container volume record in 2024

Slovenia’s Port of Koper has reported strong performance, with over 1.13 million TEUs in 2024, setting a new throughput record.

Despite challenges such as the crisis in the Red Sea and broader market uncertainties, the port recorded a 3% year-on-year increase in total maritime throughput, a 6% rise in container handling, and an 8% growth in general cargo.

On the downside, the handling of passenger vehicles declined by 3% year-on-year, reflecting the overall slowdown in vehicle sales and indicating broader industry trends.



It is also important to note that the growth of Adriatic ports is being influenced by geopolitical factors, such as the war in Ukraine, which has shifted significant trade routes for Central and Eastern European countries westward.

Adriatic ports — including Trieste in Italy, Rijeka in Croatia, and Koper in Slovenia — have gained prominence as key transshipment hubs for goods originating from or destined for Central and Eastern Europe. On the other hand, the Red Sea crisis poses a challenge to southern European ports, which have lost their advantage in offering shorter delivery times to Europe compared to northern ports.
