Baltic Hub has officially signed & sealed the construction of its latest 36.4-hectare expansion, adding 1.5 million of yearly TEU handling capacity after 36 months of works.
"The project involved the use of 4.37 million m3 of sand, 17,500 tonnes of steel, and 160,000 m3 of concrete," Baltic Hub detailed on its LinkedIn profile.
The new quay wall of 717 meters and a depth of 17.5 m houses seven ship-to-shore cranes (capable of serving 24,000+ TEU carriers) plus 20 automated gantries in the yard (7,608 container storage bays arranged in 14 stacks, and four stacks designated for empty container storage).
Altogether, the now 124-ha-big, 2.1-km-quay wall Baltic Hub can take care of 4.5 million TEUs/year.
Budimex, the DEME Group, and Haskoning were involved in the construction works, while ZPMC, Künz, and ABB supplied the handling equipment and software for operating it.
