The Slovenian Port of Koper has disclosed key indicators for 2025. \u201cDespite the challenges brought by the unstable global economy, trade uncertainty and changing supply routes, we managed to achieve growth in the throughput of strategic commodity groups and improve key business indicators by adapting and actively seeking new business opportunities\u201d, says the port.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Despite restrictions in the hinterland rail network, the share of rail in the port\u2019s throughput grew in 2025. \u201cThe throughput ratio again tipped in favour of the railway, reaching 51%\u201d, the port explains.<\/p>\n

The total shipping throughput reached 23,003,522 tonnes, which is similar to 2024. However, this is not reflected in the financial results. Net sales revenue reached 380.3 million euros. This is 13% more than was planned and 15% more than in 2024. The revenue growth is primarily attributable to increased container and car throughput and higher warehousing fees.<\/p>\n

Similarly, EBIT grew by 44% and amounted to 96.3 million euros. The net operating results reached 81.5 million euros, which represents a 35% growth or 21.2 million euros more than in 2024 and 66% more than planned.<\/p>\n

Containers and cars<\/h2>\n

“The company has repeatedly proven that we have a flexible port business model, with which we are able to manage fluctuations that arise due to changes in the economic environment\u201d, the President of the Management Board Nevenka Kr\u017ean explained. \u201cLast year’s business results are all the more exceptional when we consider that they were achieved in the midst of an extremely intensive investment period, which introduces a number of operational and process challenges into port work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Koper Port achieved significant growth across its terminals. The container terminal set a new record, handling 1,272,161 TEU, marking a substantial 12% increase. This surge was primarily fueled by new business supplying and equipping production facilities in its hinterland markets, alongside the restructuring of shipping services from the Far East and within the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

The car and Ro-Ro terminal also experienced growth, with throughput rising 3% to 914,817 units. This was mainly due to the import of vehicles from China by various manufacturers, complemented by increased car export volumes to Mediterranean countries.<\/p>\n
