Rijeka port container traffic up 60% in first eight months, on track for 800k TEU

Container throughput at Croatia's Rijeka port surged over 60% year-on-year in Jan-Aug 2026, with projections of 800,000 TEU by year-end. This reflects ongoing expansion of the port's capacity and its role as a regional transshipment hub, likely driven by increased trade flows and investment. The growth signals strengthening regional logistics activity, though sustainability depends on broader trade dynamics.
