About company

Eurokai GmbH & Co. KGaA, headquartered in Hamburg, is a prominent player in the European container handling industry. The company, predominantly owned by the Thomas H. Eckelmann family, holds significant stakes in key subsidiaries, including an 83.3% share in Contship Italia S.p.A. and a 50% share in EUROGATE GmbH & Co. KGaA, a joint venture with BLG LOGISTICS GROUP. Eurokai's operations are primarily focused on managing container terminals across several strategic European and international ports, including locations in Italy, Germany, Cyprus, Portugal, Morocco, and Russia. In addition to its core container handling services, Eurokai offers a range of ancillary services such as intermodal transport, container repairs, depot facilities, container trade, and technical services. Since its strategic restructuring in 1999, Eurokai has functioned mainly as a financial holding company, overseeing its diverse portfolio of terminal operations and related services.

Headline volumes

Total handling rose 8.9% to 3,542,482 TEUs (Q1 2025: 3,254,228 TEUs). Germany volumes increased 12.7% to 2,262,885 TEUs; Italy rose 7.8% to 421,324 TEUs. Notable terminal moves: Wilhelmshaven +60.7% (439,544 TEUs) and Bremerhaven +4.2%.

Segment earnings

CONTSHIP Italia: volumes +7.8% and materially better earnings from La Spezia, intermodal operations and equity investments — results exceeded expectations. EUROGATE: Germany volumes +12.7% and storage/refrigerated‑container income above forecasts, driving a significant increase in the EUROGATE result versus both prior year and forecast.

Other terminals & operational changes

Other international terminals were broadly stable (+0.3% total other to 858,273 TEUs). Limassol +16.2% (121,061 TEUs); Tangier down 3.8% (722,566 TEUs). Damietta (Egypt) commenced operations in February 2026 and contributed positively; full operations and remaining construction phases expected by Q4 2026.

Share price & capital

EUROKAI preference shares stood at EUR 58.00 at end‑March 2026 (prior year EUR 37.20). Key stats (12 May 2026): current price EUR 55.40, 52‑week high EUR 64.60, low EUR 34.40. Share capital: EUR 13,468,494 (preference shares EUR 6,708,494).

Outlook and material drivers

The Group now expects 2026 consolidated earnings to be higher than previously forecast and only slightly below 2025, but with increased uncertainty from the Near East crisis (Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz) and rising energy costs. The forecast assumes storage charges will normalize during the year.

Potential upside and caveats

Pending deals could lift earnings further: an APM Terminals partnership extension for Bremerhaven (signed April 2026) would add roughly EUR 20m to consolidated earnings if completed (expected Q3 2026, subject to conditions). A proposed EUROGATE–CMA Terminals strategic partnership (term sheet signed Q4 2025) may also be significantly positive but is not yet quantified.

Risks

No additional risks beyond those disclosed in the 31 Dec 2025 Management Report were identified. Management flags elevated uncertainty from geopolitical disruptions and potential energy‑cost pressure that could depress earnings if costs cannot be passed on.
