Premium Quality Care, on behalf of Port of Gdańsk's stevedore, Port Gdański Eksploatacja, has erected a flat grain storage on the Szczecińskie Quay.

The facility, constructed for Gdańsk Agro Terminal (GAT), stretches 140 metres and covers 6,500 m². With a capacity of 30,000 tonnes, it enables GAT to handle up to 0.5 million tonnes of grains per year. The single-chamber structure can be divided into two or three sections. The investment totalled almost PLN14 million (€3.24 million).

The next phase (2029) of GAT will see the set-up of 24 silos on the Vistula Quay in Gdańsk's Inner Port, upping GAT's storage capacity to 150,000 tonnes/year and handling to 3.0 million tonnes. These will be highly automated, serving both road- and rail-bound volumes.

"GAT is part of a broader strategy to increase the competitiveness of Polish agriculture in international markets. Poland has maintained a structural grain production surplus for years – approximately 35-36 million tonnes per year versus domestic consumption of 25-26 million tonnes. Strengthening export infrastructure is essential for stabilising the market and enhancing the country's competitiveness abroad," the Port of Gdańsk highlighted in a press release.
