The Budimex-Dredging International consortium will construct the T3 expansion, increasing the terminal's handling capacity by 1.7m TEUs to 4.5m/year.

T3 will cover 36.5 ha of yard area and a 717 m long and 17.5 m deep quay wall.

The project will also see DCT Gdańsk purchasing seven ship-to-shore cranes capable of serving the largest container ships and 20 semi-automated rail-mounted gantries.

Operationally, T3 will come online at the end of 2024's second half, while the full commissioning is planned for Q2 2025.

"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 both from the construction, and the equipment we will deploy for future operations," Charles Baker, DCT Gdańsk's CEO, commented.
