DCT GDANSK T3 MOVING FORWARD
DCT Gdańsk (Poland) has confirmed it has signed a contract for the construction of a third terminal, known as T3, with a consortium of Budimex and Dredging International.
Construction is due to start before the end of September 2022 and will involve a 717m quay with a depth alongside of 17.5m and a yard area of 36,500m2.
To support the ability to handle the largest container ships in service, seven new ship-to-shore gantry cranes will be commissioned with 20 semi-automatic Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes operating in the container yard.
The first phase of this new terminal will increase DCT Gdansk’s handling capacity by 1.7 million TEU per annum to offer a total capability of 4.5 million TEU per year.
Charles Baker, CEO, DCT Gdańsk, notes: “During construction, we will take all precautionary measures to protect the environment, marine life and habitats in the area influenced by the construction. Once complete, the terminal will be the most advanced of its kind in the Baltic Sea and will reflect our commitment to sustainable investing and operating, with reduced CO2 emissions during the construction and with the container handling equipment we will deploy.”
The T3 project is scheduled to be ready for operation by mid-2024, with full project completion Q2 2025.
