Contship reports strong 2025 results, advancing its growth strategy

The publication of EUROKAI’s 2025 Annual Report confirms the positive performance of the Contship Group, which closed the year with net revenues of €293 million, up 10.9% compared to 2024, reflecting the resilience of its integrated business model and the effectiveness of its strategic direction.

“2025 marks a further step in the Group’s solid and steady growth path: Contship continued to strengthen its intermodal activities and decisively enhance its maritime terminal operations. Performance was supported by both maritime and inland terminals, as well as by intermodal transport. At consolidated level, net profit increased by +16.7%,” said Tommaso Ferrario, CFO of Contship.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS IN 2025

The maritime segment, led by La Spezia Container Terminal, delivered overall revenue growth, confirming the robustness of its operating model and the strategic relevance of the Port of La Spezia within global logistics corridors. This performance was achieved despite temporary operational constraints, including the partial closure of the Fornelli pier for safety works and the reconfiguration of global shipping alliances effective from 2025. In response to these challenges, the terminal ensured operational continuity and effective management of the transition phase, limiting the impact on overall cargo volumes to marginal levels. In parallel, infrastructure development progressed, with preparatory activities continuing on the new Ravano Terminal project - part of a broader investment plan to modernize and expand capacity, supporting long-term growth.

The intermodal segment – comprising Sogemar, Hannibal, Oceanogate, Rail Hub Milano and driveMybox – reported its fifth consecutive year of operational growth, confirming the strength of the Group’s integrated model despite the sector’s infrastructure challenges. This growth was also supported by new services and the strengthening of domestic and European connections, despite ongoing infrastructure constraints.

The Group’s structure was strengthened by the acquisition of the STS Group, completed in June 2025, enhancing Contship’s customs service offering.

Headcount increased to 1,150 employees at year-end, driven by new hires and the integration of 96 employees from STS Group, reflecting both organic growth and targeted M&A activity.

During the year, Contship defined and launched its “Moves That Matter” sustainability strategy, based on a double materiality assessment, setting ambitious targets and increasingly integrating sustainability criteria into decision-making processes and business development drivers.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

“The start of operations at the Damietta Terminal, the launch of expansion works at La Spezia in the second half of the year, and continued investment in intermodal logistics represent key drivers of growth and value creation for the Group. At the same time, we are actively exploring new opportunities aligned with our long-term vision to further strengthen our position in strategic sectors,” said Matthieu Gasselin, CEO of Contship.

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to advance its digital transformation, with targeted initiatives in artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and the service offered to customers.

Contship’s strategic focus remains on sustainable, integrated growth, expanding capabilities across the logistics chain while maintaining direct control of key strategic assets, reinforcing resilience and consolidating its competitive positioning across major European and global trade corridors.
