New Container Terminal in Gdansk

The first phase of development of Poland’s new deepwater container terminal, DCT Gdansk, is completed, reports the press-service of DCT Gdansk.

With Phase One of the terminal development up and running, DCT Gdansk recently announced weekly calls by leading global container line CMA CGM and feeder specialist Team Lines, while Lithuania-based feeder operator ISN has also initiated a weekly call between DCT Gdansk and Kaliningrad.

The First Phase of DCT Gdansk comprises a 36 hectare container terminal capable of handling 500,000 TEU per annum and a roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) berth adding an extra 160,000 freight units of capacity. The terminal’s 650m long quay is served by three post-Panamax ship-to-shore cranes and five rubber-tyred gantry cranes, and offers 16.5m water depth alongside. With tried-and-tested road and rail connections linking the facility to major inland distribution centres throughout Poland and its neighbouring countries, DCT Gdansk offers a new dimension in container port operations.

Phase Two of the terminal will increase the terminal’s capacity to 1 mn TEU per annum.
