In March 2022, DCT Gdańsk handled a record container throughput of 206,645 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), an increase of over nine percent compared to the terminal’s previous high set in January 2020.

This achievement is particularly commendable in light of the severe post-pandemic circumstances, the global logistics industry’s ongoing issues, and the war in neighbouring Ukraine.

CEO of DCT Gdańsk Charles Baker said, “With this latest record, we have proven ourselves to be resilient despite the turbulence across the industry; by tapping DCT’s advantageous location and maintaining superior quality of services and facilities. I would like to extend a special word of appreciation to our staff as they are the ones who deliver a performance that meets our customers’ expectations week in, week out, throughout the year.”

In 2021, DCT Gdańsk had handled a record throughput of over 2,092,432 TEUs, while in March 2022, they also set a record in their railway movements reaching 48,741 TEUs, which was 5,000 TEUs more than their previous record month in 2019.

DCT Gdańsk looks to further increase its handling capacity by 1.7 million TEUs to over 4.5 million TEUs annually via construction of their third deep water terminal – Baltic Hub 3. The investment, valued at 500 million euros, will involve the construction of a quay with a length of 717 metres and a depth of 17 metres, as well as a 36-hectare site.

Charles also added, “This year marks DCT Gdańsk’s 15th anniversary. For 15 years we have been moving towards building a true Baltic hub and transport gateway to Poland, Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. In handling over 200,000 TEUs in March, we have reached a milestone in container handling in Poland. DCT will continue to develop and invest in its facilities to further strengthen its position, not only in Poland but in the whole of northern Europe.”
