DCT Gdańsk, a member of the PSA Group, has been awarded the lease for a new port area that will be created within the Port in Gdańsk Bay, marking a significant milestone in the terminal’s history. The results of the tender procedure, launched last September, was announced by the Port of Gdańsk on July 23.

Currently the largest container terminal on the Baltic Sea, today DCT Gdańsk operates two deep-water quays (T1 and T2 – launched in 2007 and 2016 respectively), with a total capacity of 3 million TEUs.

DCT Gdańsk CEO Charles Baker said: “The construction of the third quay of our Baltic Hub Terminal marks the opening of a new era in container handling on the Baltic Sea. DCT Gdańsk is a true 21st century terminal, and the Baltic Hub Terminal 3 development will bring the latest low-carbon technology which any European port would be proud of. Even the concrete used for construction will have a reduced carbon impact. Baltic Hub Terminal 3 will greatly enhance our service offerings to our customers and is a significant boost to attracting new services or shipping alliances, as well as supporting the growth of Poland and surrounding economies.”

Construction is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2022 and Baltic Hub 3 is scheduled to be operational by mid-2024.
