DCT Gdansk – Expanding Capacity and Reach
The continued success of DCT Gdansk is undeniable. Now, the fast-growing facility is expanding its container terminal capacity to handle 4.65 million TEU per annum (up from 2.9 million TEU) with the construction of a third deep-water terminal (T3) adjacent to the existing DCT Terminals – T1 and T2.
For DCT Gdansk, the 2010 total of 452,000TEU has long since been left behind surpassing 2.09 million TEU in 2021, with 2022 expected to exceed this figure.
To handle the largest container ships in service, seven new ship-to-shore gantry cranes will be commissioned by DCT Gdansk for its T3 project with these supported by 20 semi-automatic Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes for the container yard. Construction commenced in September 2022, comprising a 717m quay, with a water depth of 17.5m alongside, and a supporting yard area of 36,500m2.
To supplement transshipment business, DCT Gdansk, a PSA International terminal, is anticipating future demand growth in conjunction with more distant transit markets such as Czech Republic, Slovakia, Belarus, Ukraine, Austria and Hungary, with these areas better served by rail.
DCT is making significant progress in increasing its rail capabilities by adding additional capacity at the railhead in the terminal to help support growing transit volumes to more distant Polish hinterlands, Central Europe and established Hamburg hinterlands in Poland.
