The year 2025 also brought an important investment boost. The construction of the sixth liquid fuel handling station began in Naftoprot, which will be the second site adapted to operate the world's largest oil tankers of more than 300 metres in length and submerged to 15 metres. In Port Gdańsk the installation terminal for offshore wind farms, the floating gas terminal of the FSRU and the expansion of the waterfront in the Inner Port is also being constructed. In 2025, key investments were also completed, including the construction of the T3 terminal in Baltic Hub and the expansion of the Bytom Coast.

The combination of stable operational results with consistently implemented infrastructure investments strengthens the position of the Port of Gdańsk as one of the key transport hubs in the Baltic Sea region and an important element of the European transport system.
