Our Terminal
In November 2021, APM Terminals (51%) and Enna Logic (49%) signed a concession agreement to design, construct and operate a state-of-the-art container terminal, Rijeka Gateway, on Croatia's North Adriatic coast. The Rijeka Gateway will developed in two phases, with phase one due for completion in the second quarter of 2025. Total investments in Croatia by Maersk, Enna Logic and Rijeka Gateway are expected to be over €380 million throughout both phases.
Once completed, the terminal will have a 680m long berth, an annual throughput of 1,055,000 TEUs and be able to serve vessels up to 24,000 TEUs. The Rijeka Gateway will be operated with remote-controlled electrical container handling equipment, in line with APM Terminals’ ambitious decarbonisation roadmap and Terminal of the Future concept.

- Max vessel size: 24,000 TEU
- Berth length: 400m (680m)
- Ship-to-Shore Cranes: 3 (4) largest currently available
Connectivity
The terminal will have an efficient and reliable rail connection with the hinterland, linking Rijeka not only with the rest of Croatia, but also the wider Central Europe region. In addition to superior nautical capabilities, this will help make Rijeka Gateway uniquely positioned to become a gateway for the wider region.
Economy
Rijeka Gateway and the modernisation of the railway infrastructure is Croatia’s largest national project. It will facilitate business opportunities and fast economic growth not only in logistics, but in all services and all industries. The terminal is projected to employ significant number of staff directly, in addition to other positions created indirectly in connection with terminal operations.
Joint Venture
APM Terminals and ENNA form a strong partnership with proven track record in terminal and intermodal operations. The Energia Naturalis group is one of the fastest growing companies in Croatia and the region. Owning port, railway and storage facilities, the Group has positioned itself as a uniquely comprehensive and integrated logistic operator in the region.
The future terminal will be part of APM Terminal’s global network, while benefitting from ENNA’s deep understanding of the local market in Croatia. The ENNA Group and APM Terminals share the same values and business vision. Together they believe that investing in the Rijeka Gateway)will lay the foundations for further growth and sustainability of the port operations and logistics business in Rijeka and in the Republic of Croatia.
