Polish ports set transhipment records

AI translation from Polish – DeepL.

In 2025, Polish seaports – Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin and Świnoujście – handled 141 million tonnes of cargo. This is 5 million tonnes more than in 2024. The number of containers increased to 3.9 million TEU, i.e. by 18 per cent.

The Baltic Hub in Gdańsk handled 2.767 million TEU, an increase of 23%. The main cargoes were containers from Asia (consumer goods, electronics), LNG (imports increased by 32%, mainly from the US and Qatar), steel, grain and coal (although coal exports are declining).

The net profit of the ports reached PLN 650 million, up 20%.

In order to maintain growth, large investments in transhipment infrastructure are planned. The state budget for 2025 allocates nearly PLN 3 billion to the maritime economy, an increase of 49.5%. Investments include new quays, container terminals and LNG terminals. Thanks to these, ports are becoming a gateway for goods from Asia to Central Europe.

One of the largest projects is the construction of a deep-water container terminal in Świnoujście. The investment is to be completed by 2028. The Port of Gdańsk is developing its grain transhipment infrastructure – nine new grain warehouses will be built on the Vistula and Szczecin quays, increasing storage capacity fivefold to 152,000 tonnes. Another strategic project is the construction of a Marine Off-Loading Facility (MOLF) for Poland’s first nuclear power plant in Choczewo – a structure enabling the unloading of heavy cargo.
