– This time absolutely must be used investmently, in order to increase the capacity for transshipment in Polish ports. First of all, we want to maintain these record 100 million tonnes of transshipment – stressed the head of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and inland waterways.
In his opinion, annual transhipment records are a signal to invest even more. – Just as we do in Gdynia, so also in other ports, in Gdańsk, Szczecin and Świnoujście. The opening of access roads from the sea side and the mainland directly involves increasing transhipments – said Minister Grobarczyk.
Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Adamczyk, present in Gdynia, reminded that the government updated the National Railway Programme on 19 February, in which an additional PLN 3.2 billion was recorded for investments related to improving access infrastructure from the land side to Polish ports.

Nearly 7,000 metres of railway tracks will be rebuilt and electrified in the western part of the Port of Gdynia. The value of the investment is over PLN 65 million.
The purpose of the investment is to increase the trans-shipment efficiency of the railway terminal, by introducing all-train warehouses by electric traction, directly from Gdynia Port station, to the side of the BCT track layout. Thanks to electrification, the time of handling intermodal warehouses, at Gdynia Port station, will also be reduced, without the need to change the locomotive to combustion.
