The operator has counted 47 large intercontinental and 53 feeder-ship calls since commercial operations began. The milestone refers to calls—not automatically 100 different vessels or cargo throughput.

01

Moraga and Conship Luv completed the hundred

According to Rijeka Gateway, Moraga and Conship Luv arrived almost simultaneously as the terminal's 99th and 100th ship calls. The milestone came a few days before the first anniversary of commercial operations.

The count records calls. A vessel can visit a terminal more than once, so the figure does not necessarily mean 100 different ships.

02

Forty-seven large calls and 53 feeder calls

The operator divides the total into 47 large intercontinental and 53 smaller feeder calls. Feeders connect the terminal with other ports and consolidate cargo for major services.

The mix says something about the network, but not yet how many containers were moved per call.

03

Commercial operations began on 10 September 2025

The terminal started regular cargo handling on 10 September 2025. It therefore reached the hundredth call within its first year of operation.

A young terminal goes through ramp-up and learning phases. A single round number cannot replace a long-term operating record.

04

A weekly rotation has operated since late July

The announcement points to a regular weekly service since late July. For shippers and rail partners, fixed rotations like this matter more than a one-off record call.

Whether more services follow depends on reliability, demand, hinterland links and shipping-line decisions.

05

More than 420 people work at the terminal

The operator now reports more than 420 employees. This indicates the staffing scale of current operations.

The figure does not say how many additional indirect jobs have been created or how employment will develop over the longer term.

06

Gemini explains part of the service network

Rijeka Gateway is part of the Gemini cooperation between Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. This helps put its regular large-vessel and feeder connections into context.

It implies neither exclusivity nor a guarantee of unchanged schedules. Shipping networks are continually adjusted.

07

What the hundred does not prove

The announcement does not provide full-year throughput, profit or a comparative rate against other ports. Those indicators cannot be invented from 100 calls.

What is supported is this: the terminal is operating, handles two ship types, has a regular rotation and employs more than 420 people. Everything else needs separate data.
