Between 2012 and 2015, the terminal\u2019s equipment, infrastructure and IT systems will all be upgraded, with the aim of increasing the terminal\u2019s capacity from 750,000 teu to 1.2m teu.<\/p>\n
Rail side capacity will also be increased thanks to the purchase of new RMGs and the Port of Gdynia\u2019s investment in longer tracks.<\/p>\n
BCT achieved great throughput last year \u2013 the terminal experienced a 30% container increase and rail turnover had a 37% share of all boxes \u2013 over 20% more than in 2010.<\/p>\n
Krzysztof Szymborski, CEO of BCT said to Port Strategy<\/i>: \u201cThe foresight of further investment at BCT means we are not afraid to make major investment ourselves. It will mean we are able to meet the future demands of shipping lines and the need of Polish foreign trade.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is good news for BCT considering that 2009 was such a tough year due to the economic crisis and the loss of Maersk \u2013 the terminal\u2019s largest client at the time. But, despite these adversities, the terminal still managed to \u201cstay profitable\u201d through the hard times.<\/p>\n
Short term BCT\u2019s strategy is based on wise and flexible resource management, but longer term, the plan is clearly spend to accumulate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
