DCT Gdańsk Deepwater Container Terminal (Baltic Hub) – Terminal T1

completedstage: operational
200 mln USD
estimate · data from 2007net or gross: not recorded≈ 800 mln PLN (value-by-stage, est., nominal)

Poland's first deepwater container terminal, located within the Gdańsk seaport, in the outer port (part of the Northern Port). The terminal was created to receive deepwater, transoceanic container ships on the Baltic Sea. Work on the terminal began in October 2005, and the opening took place on 3 October 2007; the first ship called even before the official opening, on 1 June 2007. Under the first stage (T1) an artificially reclaimed pier of 25.2 ha (800 m long and 315 m wide) was created, on which 2 container-handling berths were built, thanks to a USD 200 million investment. The terminal operator was DCT Gdańsk S.A.; the entire shareholding package belonged at the time to the Australian investment fund Macquarie GIF II. In 2022 the terminal was renamed Baltic Hub.

Significance

DCT Gdańsk was Poland's first deepwater container terminal, able to receive deepwater, transoceanic container ships directly on the Baltic Sea, without the need for transshipment in Western European ports. Under the first stage (T1), on an artificially reclaimed pier of 25.2 ha (800 m long, 315 m wide), 2 container-handling berths were created, brought into service in 2007 thanks to a USD 200 million investment. The terminal, later renamed Baltic Hub, became the largest and most modern maritime container terminal in Poland.

Every fact on this card comes from the sources below. Next to each source – which fields it supports.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.

A “wiki” mark means the value stands on Wikipedia alone. Our count of independent sources treats it as zero, so read such a place as less firmly documented than the rest of the card – that applies to an outcome row, a figure, a date and a status alike.
