Poland Infrastructure Port of Gdansk Development

The Port of Gdańsk has been an ongoing construction project in recent years. An important investment to the development of the Inner Port will soon be completed, related to the deepening of the fairway and the modernization of more than 5 km of quays, and another, the continuation of this investment, is already being planned. The project is called “Improving Access to the Port of Gdańsk – Modernization of Fairway 2.” 

Recently, it was announced that an agri-terminal will be built in the Port of Gdańsk. It will be implemented by the Port Gdański Eksploatacja, a company belonging to the Port of Gdańsk Authority, which already ships grain.  Thanks to the investment in nine additional grain warehouses, cranes and transshipment equipment, it will increase its storage capacity fivefold, to 152 thousand tons per year, and transshipment capacity, from 0.7 million tons to 2.9 million tons per year.  The value of the new investment in the port is approximately almost USD 100 million.

The Ministry announced that the works at the port will cover the land side (railway, roads), water (reconstruction of quays and reinforcements), and cranes and transshipment equipment will also have to be purchased. Five grain warehouses will be built on the Vistula Quay, while four will be built on the Szczecin Quay. The total length of both quays is 1.9 km.

In the future, the terminal will store and transship grain, fodder and meals. Investments will also be carried out in the ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście: Investments in the next three years are to increase the transshipment potential of the local terminals from 4 to 6 million tons per year.

U.S. companies in the design and construction sector have a worldwide reputation for quality, innovation, consulting, and after sale service, and are well-positioned to do business in Poland’s growing infrastructure market.
