With the opening of terminal T3, Baltic Hub strengthens its role as a European logistics network and makes the port of Gdansk a world-class reference facility. This expansion increases the hub’s operational capacity and, at the same time, registers its strategic commitment to sustainability and technological innovation.
The capacity and technology of the new T3 terminal
The T3 terminal integrates an area of 36 hectares and a 717-meter quay with a draft of 17.5 meters, specifications that allow it to receive vessels of more than 24,000 TEUs. This infrastructure raises the total capacity of the Baltic Hub from 3 million to 4.5 million TEUs per year, establishing Gdansk among the most important container ports in Europe.
[post_relacionado]A highlight of the terminal is the availability of 20 automated rail-mounted gantry cranes(RMG) and 7 semi-automatic ship-to-shore cranes(STS), all electrified. A commitment to state-of-the-art equipment seeks to maximize efficiency, minimize operating times and reduce environmental impact.
Moreover, all machinery runs on green energy and the complex has been built with low-emission materials. These decisions are aligned with the company’s goals: to lower its actual emissions impact by up to 50 % by 2030 and to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
The preservation of the marine habitat and the integration of clean technologies are also an integral part of the project’s ecological vision. T3 modernizes port infrastructure while promoting a transition to a more environmentally friendly logistics model.
The increase in logistics capacity will have a direct effect on the economy of Central and Eastern Europe. Through its intermodal connectivity, Baltic Hub will improve the distribution of goods to the continent’s inland markets, strengthening its role as a hub between global shipping routes and the European rail network.
The terminal represents a major strategic investment by its partners: PSA International, IFM Investors and the Polish Development Fund(PFR). These organizations highlight the value of the Baltic Hub as a catalyst for regional growth and ensure its integration into future energy infrastructures.
