During the meeting, the Management Board of Luka Koper presented the Prime Minister Golob and the Minister Bratušek with detailed operational and financial results for 2025, placing a special focus on the current investment cycle under way at the port. The development of the Port of Koper is based on increasing infrastructure capacity, accelerating the implementation of the Smart Port concept, ensuring a strong human‑resource structure, and maintaining a commitment to sustainability and minimising environmental and social impacts. The total projected value of investments for the 2024–2028 period amounts to an impressive EUR 785 million.
Accompanied by the company’s management, the guests toured the construction site of the Port’s most important ongoing project – the northern extension of Pier I. The project foresees the construction of 326 metres of new quay with two berths, the creation of seven hectares of additional storage and handling areas, the dredging of the seabed, and the development of all necessary infrastructure. Completion of works is planned for 2027.
Another major investment is the construction of a new multi‑storey car storage facility with a capacity of 11,700 vehicles, which began at the end of last year and will significantly strengthen the Car and RO‑RO Terminal’s capacity. In addition, work is continuing on the Berth no. 12 in Basin II, dedicated to general and project cargo. This investment includes the construction of 200 metres of new multipurpose quay and a 37‑metre RO‑RO ramp for the handling of wheeled cargo and vehicles, with completion expected by the end of this year. Also in its final phase is the construction of Warehouse no. 54, a fully automated and energy self‑sufficient storage facility for steel coils, which will likewise be completed this year.
