Luka Koper Signs Construction Contracts for Container Pier Extension

This should increase the capacity of the container terminal to 1.3m container units per year, and by the planned optimization of work processes at the terminal by an additional 200,000 units.

According to Slovenian media, Luka Koper signed construction contracts for pier extensions. To be specific, the works are divided into two phases. The first phase, which includes the construction of an operational shoreline 98.5 meters long and 34.4 meters wide, will be completed by the contractor in March next year. The second phase, the construction of hinterland storage areas on the south side of the pier of 24,830 square meters, will be completed in early 2022.

The contractor, Kolektor Koling with partners Grafist and Adriaing, is expected to start installing the pilots in September.

This will increase the capacity of the container terminal to 1.3m container units per year, and by the planned optimization of work processes at the terminal by an additional 200,000 units.

The Port of Koper also obtained European funds for this investment, which is worth EUR 45.6m. However, the expansion of the container terminal, which will extend to the north side of the first pier after 2022, has not yet been completed.
