Poland’s Baltic Container Terminal welcomes new MSC service

Baltic Container Terminal (BCT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in the Port of Gdynia, has been integrated into the rotation of MSC’s Britannia Ocean Service.

MSC’s new service made its inaugural call in Poland’s BCT on 9 April, marked by the arrival of the MSC Rose.



The service offers a direct deep-sea connection between Asia and Northern Europe, covering major commercial ports such as Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Vung Tau, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, and Liverpool.

“BCT’s inclusion in MSC’s new service strengthens the Port of Gdynia’s role as a deep-water port and highlights our terminal’s modern facilities. We expect the service to increase export transshipment volume and boost intermodal operations,” said Wojciech Szymulewicz, BCT CEO.

“With the arrival of this new service, we embrace the opportunity to expand our role in international maritime trade and make the Port of Gdynia more globally competitive,” he added.



BCT moved a total of 8,200 TEUs during the call of the 364-meter-long MSC Rose, which was followed by the call of the 366-meter-long MSC Daria on 17 April. The vessels have capacities of 15,500 TEUs and 15,264 TEUs, respectively.
