DCT Gdansk achieves new container record

DCT Gdansk, the largest container terminal on the Baltic Sea, set a new record in container traffic in March, by handling 206,645 TEU, and surpassing the previous record set in January 2020 by more than 9%.

“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,” stated Charles Baker, CEO of DCT Gdansk.

Baker added that DCT will continue to develop and invest in its facilities to further strengthen its position, not only in Poland but also in northern Europe. “The expected growth in the long term underpins the construction of our third deepwater terminal, Baltic Hub 3,” he pointed out.

The US$543 million investment will involve the construction of a quay with a length of 717 metres, a depth of 17 metres and a site of 360,000 m², according to a statement.

When Baltic Hub 3 is completed, it is estimated that DCT Gdansk will increase its handling capacity by 1.7 million TEU to over 4.5 million TEU annually.
