First, the Port of Gdańsk Authority has commissioned DORACO to reconstruct the Vistula Quay in the Inner Port, a project worth PLN351 million (€82.5m) and scheduled for completion in Q2 2028.

The construction works will see the rebuilding of 920.25 metres of quay wall, dredging the dock to 12 m, setting up new road & rail infrastructure (altogether 3.4 km of rail tracks), erecting a new terminal for handling sugar, and putting in place a new manoeuvring area.

The new Vistula Quay will serve vessels able to carry 100,000 tonnes.

Next, the Authority's daughter company, Port Gdański Eksploatacja, will set up, with the help of Premium Quality Care, a 7,000-square-metre, 30,000 tonne-capacity flat warehouse in what will make up the first phase of setting up the ultimately 160,000 tonne-storage-capacity Gdańsk Agro Terminal (GAT).

The investment's completion is planned for 2026; the entire GAT will be operational in 2028 following its integration with the Vistula Quay and erection of other silos. The GAT project's value is PLN240m (€65.4m).

The reconstruction of the Vistula Quay is part of a bigger initiative, 85% EU-supported through the Connecting Europe Facility. The construction of GAT will be 100% financed from Polish funds.
