The Luka Koper Group has successfully concluded the fiscal year 2025, achieving growth in strategic freight segments despite the challenges of an unstable global economy and changing trade routes. This is evident from the company’s current business figures, which show a positive development of key performance indicators.
Revenue and Profit Exceed Expectations
The net revenue of the Luka Koper Group amounted to EUR 380.3 million in 2025, representing an increase of 13% compared to the plan and 15% compared to 2024. The main drivers for this increase were higher container and vehicle throughput as well as increased storage revenues.
Operating profit (EBIT) rose by 44% compared to the previous year to EUR 96.3 million, which is 74% above the planned value. This positive development was supported not only by higher revenues but also by an increase in other earnings. Despite rising operating costs due to additional hires, performance-related payments, and higher energy and material costs, the overall performance of the company was positively influenced by strong sales figures, an improved financial result, and solid contributions from associated companies. The net profit amounted to EUR 81.5 million, reflecting an increase of 35%.
Growth in Container and Vehicle Throughput
The container terminal recorded remarkable growth of 12%, achieving a new record of 1,272,161 TEU. This growth was primarily driven by new business activities related to the supply and equipping of production facilities in the port’s hinterland markets, as well as restructured shipping services from the Far East and within the Mediterranean. The auto and RO-RO terminal also saw an increase of 3% with 914,817 units handled, mainly due to the import of vehicles from various Chinese manufacturers.
Investments and Future Projects
In 2025, several development projects were launched at the Port of Koper as part of a comprehensive investment cycle scheduled for completion by 2028. A total of EUR 132.9 million was allocated for investments, of which EUR 42.9 million was designated for sustainability-related initiatives. For 2026, the Luka Koper Group plans to further intensify investment activities with a budget of EUR 201 million.
In line with the project timeline, construction is underway on the new container berth and storage areas in the northern section of Pier I, as well as a multi-story parking garage with a capacity of 11,700 vehicles. Two significant projects, an automated and energy-independent warehouse for steel coils and berth No. 12 for project cargo, are expected to be completed later this year.
