Luka Koper Group achieved growth in strategic cargo segments despite global economic challenges in 2025. The Slovenian port operator posted strong financial results.
Net sales revenue reached EUR 380.3 million. The figure exceeded the plan by 13% and surpassed 2024 results by 15%. Higher container and vehicle throughput drove the revenue increase. Storage revenue also contributed to growth.
Operating profit surged 44% to EUR 96.3 million. The result exceeded the planned figure by 74% or EUR 40.8 million. Net profit reached EUR 81.5 million. This represented a 35% increase over 2024 and 66% above plan.
The Container Terminal recorded 12% growth to reach a new record of 1,272,161 TEU. New business operations related to production facility supply in hinterland markets drove the increase. Restructured shipping services from the Far East and within the Mediterranean also contributed.
The Car and RO-RO Terminal handled 914,817 units. The 3% increase came from vehicle imports from Chinese manufacturers and higher exports to Mediterranean countries.
Total maritime throughput reached 23,003,522 tonnes. The figure remained level with 2024. Rail transport accounted for 51% of the modal split despite railway network upgrade restrictions.
The Passenger Terminal recorded a record season with 80 cruise ship arrivals. Total passengers reached 123,928, just 1% below 2024. The port inaugurated its new modern Passenger Terminal in May.
Luka Koper invested EUR 132.9 million in 2025. The group allocated EUR 42.9 million to sustainability initiatives. Investment activity will intensify in 2026 with EUR 201 million planned.
Construction continues on the new container quay and storage areas in Pier I’s northern section. A multi-storey car garage with 11,700 vehicle capacity is also under construction. An automated warehouse for steel coils and Berth 12 for project cargo will be completed this year.
President of the Management Board Nevenka Kržan said the port operates a flexible business model capable of managing economic fluctuations. The results were delivered during an intensive investment cycle that brings operational challenges.
