Last year, the port launched several development projects that will, by 2028, complete an extensive investment cycle defined in the company’s current Strategic Business Plan. In 2025, a total of EUR 132.9 million was allocated for investments, including EUR 42.9 million dedicated to managing sustainability impacts.
Investment activity is even more intensive in 2026, as the Group plans expenditures of around EUR 201 million. According to the planned timeline, construction continues on the new container quay and storage areas in the northern section of Pier I, as well as on a multi-level car storage facility with a capacity of 11,700 vehicles. Two major projects are also set for completion this year – a nearly fully automated and energy self-sufficient warehouse for steel coils, and a new Berth no. 12 for project cargo, equipped with a ramp enabling the handling of vehicles.
