Gdansk celebrates growth

DCT Gdansk, the Baltic’s rapidly growing gateway to Central-Eastern Europe and Russia celebrated its 5th birthday last month.

On this occasion DCT also increased its capacity by 25% to 1.25m TEU with the addition of new stacking areas.

The close cooperation between DCT and local authorities has ensured the development of surrounding road, rail and logistic infrastructure that were necessary to accompany DCT’s rapid growth. To date, 500 jobs have been created in DCT alone and many more will be generated by the 100 hectare logistic park project which is now under construction.

DCT Gdansk was opened in October 2007 and has rapidly developed into Poland’s biggest container terminal with over 57% share in container handlings. The terminal serves Poland, surrounding CEE countries and Russia and is the only hub port on the Baltic Sea with weekly calls of ultra-large container vessels.
