Baltic Hub Container Terminal

The Baltic Hub Container Terminal (previously Deepwater Container Terminal) is located in the northern port. It was officially opened on 1 October 2007 and is the largest container terminal in Poland. It also serves as a transshipment hub for Saint Petersburg and other ports in the Baltic Sea region. Currently the handling capacity of the container terminal amounts to 3,000,000 TEU with prospect to further increase by 250,000 TEU due to conversion of additional storage area as well as container handling equipment purchase.

The terminal has become a springboard for the Polish Maritime Economy. In 2011, some of the largest container ships in the world at that time, the 14,700-TEU capacity Mærsk E-class container ships began regular weekly calls in Gdańsk. These included Evelyn Maersk, Emma Maersk, Eleonora Maersk, Ebba Maersk and Eugen Maersk. DCT Gdańsk reached its first one millionth handling in June 2011. July 2011 saw the implementation of E-SMART, a modern tool by the British company International Terminal Solutions Ltd (ITS). Maersk were the first container line which to introduce direct navigational connection (AE10) from the Far East to the Baltic region.
