The Polish port of \u015awinouj\u015bcie is set for a major expansion with the construction of Cape Pomerania (Przyl\u0105dek Pomerania).\u00a0<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The new 186-hectare area will include a deepwater container terminal and a new quay. The terminal will have a handling capacity of 2m TEU per year, with rail expected to play a central role in its operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new port will be significantly larger than planned and will be built solely by Polish entities,\u201d the Polish government said. The facility will be capable of accommodating the largest vessels entering the Baltic Sea. In terms of rail access, two new tracks, each more than 3km long, will be constructed, along with a siding at the terminal.<\/p>\n

The port authority will fund the construction of the container terminal, estimated at \u20ac350m (PLN1.5 billion). The Polish government will contribute a further \u20ac1.64 billion (PLN7 billion) for \u201cdeepening of 70km of the port\u2019s approach fairway, a new port basin, and the land infrastructure supplying the port, as well as road and rail junctions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing Polish ports<\/h2>\n

Currently, Gda\u0144sk is the leading port on the Baltic Sea. The recent opening of the T3 terminal<\/a> increased its capacity to 4.5m TEU. The planned capacity expansion in \u015awinouj\u015bcie underscores the growing prominence of Polish ports as key European logistics hubs, a trend accelerated by the geopolitical shifts following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The drive to expand rail and port infrastructure<\/a> also reflects a broader European effort to strengthen military mobility and diversify entry points into the continent. In this context, Polish ports and transport corridors are becoming increasingly vital to both European trade and defence logistics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
