The container terminal operator and the Port of Gdańsk have signed a 30-year lease for the 'Deepwater' area next to the T2 facility of the former.

Baltic Hub will build a new rail siding there, with seven tracks for 750-metre long trains. New storage yards will be erected as well.

"This lease agreement represents a pivotal milestone in Baltic Hub's long-term strategy. The expansion of our rail terminal and yard capacity, aligned with PSA Group's Node to Network strategy, will strengthen hinterland connectivity by enabling a greater share of containers to be transported by rail. This will enhance network efficiency, reduce reliance on road transport, and support the modal shift needed to lower supply chain emissions. At the same time, it reinforces our ability to deliver the reliability, capacity, and sustainable performance that our shipping line partners and cargo owners expect," commented Jan Van Mossevelde, CEO, Baltic Hub.

Dorota Pyć, President of the Port of Gdańsk Authority, also shared, "This investment is aligned with our sustainable development objectives, creating the conditions for a greater share of cargo to be shifted from road to rail. This will support more efficient and environmentally friendly supply chains and strengthen the Port of Gdańsk's position in competing with other European ports for serving the markets of Central and Eastern Europe, including Czechia, Slovakia, and Ukraine."
