The Polish stevedore active in the Port of Gdynia has launched a 50kW system for harvesting solar energy.

The company plans to add four more installations by this year's end, increasing the system's capacity to 225kW.

The stevedore will use the electricity for its own needs, including powering the electric cargo handling equipment it plans to purchase, such as forklifts, gantries, and reachstackers.

"The PV installations are a response to client expectations, whose planning actions incorporate the carbon footprint of the entire logistics chain. OT Port Gdynia gains a competitive edge while improving the state of the environment," underlined Jerzy Majewski, the company's CEO.
