YILPORT Holding, under CoreX Holding B.V. ownership, has reported a robust operational performance in the first half of 2025, achieving a 10 per cent increase in global container volumes.
YILPORT also entered 2025 with a strategic milestone, reportedly being officially acknowledged by the industry as the 10th largest global container terminal operator by the equity-based throughput league table 2024, by Drewry.
In H1 2025, YILPORT terminals handled a total of 4 million TEUs, representing a 10 per cent increase, while general cargo operations recorded a strong year-on-year increase with a total of 6.8 million tonnes, with an over 11 per cent increase.
Growth was driven by standout performance at flagship terminals and the seamless integration of newly acquired facilities across Latin America and West Africa.
YILPORT’s container volume surged across key terminals in H1, led by Paita (+57 per cent), Sotagus (+53 per cent), Puerto Bolívar (+38 per cent), and Lisbon (+27 per cent).
Leixões grew by 11 per cent, while YILPORT Ferrol grew by 166 per cent, gained from new transhipment calls.
Operational upgrades and increased service frequencies at Oslo (+13 per cent) and Huelva (+76 per cent) further supported growth.
In addition, three new terminals were successfully integrated into YILPORT’s portfolio during the reporting period: Takoradi, Ghana; Acajutla and La Unión, El Salvador.
“This performance is the result of years of hard work, bold but wise investment decisions, and the dedication of a globally aligned team,” said Robert Yüksel Yıldırım, Founder, Chairman and CEO of YILPORT Holding and CoreX Holding B.V.
“We have consistently invested in the right markets, the right people, and the right technologies. Our growth is not only measured in volume, but in the trust of our customers , the loyalty of our partners, and the consistency of our global model. We will continue to lead with quality, speed, and responsibility.”
