Rijeka Port, located adjacent to the Adriatic Sea, has recently attracted growing interest from Korean companies with large export volumes to Eastern Europe, as Maersk, one of the world's largest shipping companies, has invested and begun full-scale development.

Once the Maersk-invested terminal is completed in 2025, it will be able to accommodate ultra-large vessels of up to 20,000 TEU, which is expected to significantly increase the cargo volume of Rijeka Port.

Kang Jun-seok, President of BPA, said, “Rijeka Port is an important transit point for our companies exporting to Eastern European countries,” and added, “Taking this cooperation MOU as an opportunity, we will actively work with Rijeka Port Authority to secure a stable logistics platform that can support our export companies.”
