Saxon Inland Ports Draw Positive Balance for 2025 - Saxon Inland Ports sees 4.27% cargo growth in 2025 despite regional setbacks

Saxon Inland Ports (SBO) has reported a modest rise in cargo handling for 2025, with a 4.27% increase in volume to 2.14 million tons. However, challenges in certain areas offset parts of this growth. Despite a 9% drop in volumes at SBO's Czech subsidiary, CSP, due to delays and clearance issues, rail freight saw a positive shift, climbing by 1.9% across the network. Torgau stood out as a bright spot, with rail-based cargo handling doubling in 2025. The company also avoided operational layoffs last year, focusing on job security and financial stability for 2026. A major project is now underway: the expansion of Riesa port, with preparations already in progress and an estimated initial investment of €30 million, 78% of which is set to come from public funding. The 2025 results show mixed fortunes for SBO, with growth in some areas but setbacks in others. The Riesa expansion remains a key priority, backed by significant public investment, which could strengthen the company's long-term position in cargo handling.
