Luka Koper extends terminal systems partnership to support smart port strategy

Luka Koper has agreed a 10-year contract extension with Tideworks Technology, extending their terminal systems partnership through December 2035 ahead of the introduction of a range of updated software systems in the new year.

Under the agreement, the Adriatic port will implement new versions of its Spinnaker, Traffic Control, Forecast and Terminal View systems from January 2026, followed by an upgrade to Tideworks’ Mainsail 10 platform in the second quarter of 2026.

The systems are designed to support planning, real-time visibility and coordination across terminal and yard operations. Tideworks’ Professional Services team will also provide operational consulting, training and system integration support, alongside the development of application programming interfaces (APIs) to improve data exchange with internal systems and external partners.

“This next phase of modernization is a strategic investment in our smart port vision,” said Edvard Matkovic, Chief Information Officer at Luka Koper.

“By upgrading our systems and deepening collaboration with Tideworks, we’re equipping teams with the tools and intelligence to manage growing volumes, deliver exceptional service, and lead in a competitive logistics landscape.”
