Port of Koper begins Pier I extension project

This week, Port of Koper will begin the main construction works for the extension of the northern part of Pier I.

In total, 1,750 steel piles – each 60 to 70 meters long – will be driven into the seabed to support the new 326-meter quay and 7 hectares of stacking and handling areas.

Also, the project includes two additional berths and full supporting infrastructure.

Once construction is completed and new cranes are installed, Koper will increase its annual container capacity to 1.8 million TEU.

Completion is expected by the end of 2027, the Port said.
