The Container Terminal of Luka Koper recorded a 12 per cent growth in 2025, reaching a new all-time record with a throughput of 1.27 million TEUs.
Net sales revenue of the Luka Koper Group reached €380.3 million ($448 million) in 2025, exceeding the plan by 13 per cent and surpassing the 2024 results by 15 per cent.
The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher container and vehicle throughput, as well as increased storage revenue.
Compared to 2024, the Group’s operating profit (EBIT) increased by 44 per cent or €29.3 million ($34.5 million), reaching €96.3 million ($113.4 million).
This result also exceeded the planned figure by 74 per cent or €40.8 million ($48 million), driven not only by higher sales revenues, but also by an increase in other revenues.
Despite higher operating costs resulting from additional hiring, performance-related payments and increased energy and material expenses, the Group’s overall performance was positively influenced by strong sales performance, a higher financial result and solid contributions from associated companies.
The Group’s net profit reached €81.5 million ($96 million), representing a 35 per cent increase or €21.2 million ($24 million) more than in 2024 and 66 per cent above the planned figure.
“As a company, we have repeatedly demonstrated that we operate a flexible port business model capable of managing fluctuations arising from changes in the economic environment.
Nevenka Kržan, President of the Management Board of Luka Koper, upon the release of the results, said: “The business results achieved last year are all the more remarkable considering that they were delivered in the midst of an exceptionally intensive investment cycle, which brings numerous operational and process-related challenges to port operations.”

The increase was driven mainly by new business operations related to the supply and equipment of production facilities in the port’s hinterland markets, as well as by restructured shipping services from the Far East and within the Mediterranean.
The Car and RoRo Terminal also achieved a 3 per cent increase with 914,817 units handled, primarily due to the import of vehicles from various Chinese manufacturers, along with higher export volumes to Mediterranean countries.
Throughput was slightly lower in the general cargo segment where demand for various project cargoes continues to grow steadily, as well as in the dry and bulk cargo segment, mainly due to reduced volumes of iron ore.
Total maritime throughput reached 23 million tonnes, remaining at the same level as in 2024. Despite restrictions due to upgrades and modernisation of Slovenia’s railway network, the modal split once again shifted in favour of rail transport, which accounted for 51 per cent.
