The Port of Gdansk unveiled development plans currently in the works, which are fueled by the accelerating growth in international trade.
The Port of Gdansk has plans to expand and boost capacity by adding more deep-water transshipment quays and establishing the Central Port, along with building a new roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) terminal in the Outer Port.
The projects are in response to the accelerating growth in international trade, and the port authority has received the green light to start design work on the investments, the port said.
Construction of the Central Port, which is the first large-scale concept for the development of the Port of Gdansk in 40 years, will involve building new deep-water terminals to handle the largest vessels entering the Baltic Sea.
Meanwhile, the port said the ro-ro terminal will be built in the immediate vicinity of the DCT container terminal.
BlueWater Reporting’s Port Dashboard tool shows the Port of Gdansk is frequented by eight liner services, which include two container services dedicated to the Asia-Europe trade; four container services that strictly operate within intra-North Europe; one pure/car truck carrier service that strictly operates within intra-North Europe; and one ro-ro service between the Middle East, North Europe and the Mediterranean.
