The Polish branch of HES International has commissioned three silos with a combined storage capacity of 21,000 tonnes, adding them to the May 2025-completed flat warehouse of 64,000 tonnes.

The new facility, sitting on the Silesian Quay in the Port of Gdynia, offers 85,000 tonnes of automated grain intake and dispatch capacity, a fully integrated conveyor system connecting storage, handling and vessel loading operations, four separate compartments in the flat warehouse together with three vertical silos for simultaneous storage of different grain types, and truck and railcar loading/discharge point stations with bottom-discharge technology.

Capable of serving Panamax and Capesize vessels and offering now a total storage capacity of 240,000 tonnes, HES Gdynia's throughput rose to 1.5 million tonnes of cereals per year.
