On April 15, 2011 International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), a global company based in the Philippines operating 32 container ports and terminals across 19 countries worldwide, became a majority of owner of Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT) with 51% share and Luka Rijeka 49%.
Since taking over, the port has been modernerised with investment in new equipment doubling overall capacity and more recently completing a new intermodal yard which has tripled rail capacity.
Following 20% growth in 2019, AGCT grew a further 12% in 2020 surpassing 300,000TEU and setting a new terminal volume record. Growth was driven by an additional 30% increase in rail volumes, with 70% of volumes now coming from outside Croatia and from Central and South-East Europe, positioning AGCT as an important trade gateway for the region.
AGCT has contributed to the development of the Croatian economy, providing exporters and importers with an efficient and modern port with nearly 2 million TEUs handled since 2011. The local economy in Rijeka has benefited with over 234 direct employees and thousands more in related industries, producing a positive multiplier effect on the overall national economy.
