Introduction

In October 2023, the first phase of the rail freight terminal at the Port of Gdansk was officially opened. The project, undertaken by the Port of Gdansk Authority, involved an investment of PLN 120 million and is designed to enhance the port’s handling capacity.

Project Overview

The rail freight terminal project at the Port of Gdansk has been executed in phases. The first phase, completed in October 2023, included the construction of new railway tracks, a maneuvering area, and a road system. This initial phase cost PLN 120 million and aimed to improve the efficiency of rail freight operations.

Infrastructure Development

The project involved the construction of approximately 7 km of new railway tracks within the port area. These tracks are designed to accommodate longer and heavier freight trains. Additionally, the project included the development of a maneuvering area, which facilitates the efficient sorting and handling of rail cars. The road system was also upgraded to improve connectivity within the port.

Operational Enhancements

The completed first phase of the rail freight terminal is expected to significantly increase the volume of goods transported by rail through the Port of Gdansk. The new infrastructure allows for the simultaneous handling of multiple trains, reducing turnaround times and improving overall operational efficiency. These improvements are part of a broader strategy to strengthen the port’s position as a major logistics hub.
