DCT Gdańsk (DCT) celebrated its 15 millionth TEU milestone on 8 April 2021, since it opened in 2007.

“Handling 15 million TEUs since the terminal commenced operations in 2007 is a wonderful milestone to achieve. A line of containers that could more than twice circle the earth’s circumference – this is a great success for our employees. Of equal importance to us is that each of those 15 million TEUs was a customer who used our services, and it’s a testament to their ongoing support and belief in DCT Gdańsk that has contributed to DCT Gdańsk becoming the Baltic Hub for logistics,” said DCT CEO Cameron Thorpe.

The 15 millionth container is owned and operated by COSCO Shipping and loaded aboard COSCO Shipping Galaxy, one of the world’s largest ships with a capacity of 21,000 TEU. The ship is sailing as part of the OCEAN Shipping Alliance service, which provides a weekly connection between the ports of Korea, China and Singapore with Gdańsk.
