Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) has completed the second phase of its development programme at the Port of Gdynia in Poland.
The project included infrastructure upgrades and new cargo-handling equipment. Combined investment across the first and second phases has exceeded US$84 million.
The second phase was completed at the end of June 2026.
Works included the construction of additional quay sections, new crane tracks, heavy-duty surfacing and upgraded terminal facilities.
The project followed the upgrade of the Helskie Quay. The improvements have increased BCT’s ability to handle larger container vessels operating in the Baltic Sea.
As part of the development, BCT received two quay cranes, two mobile harbour cranes and eight rubber-tyred gantry cranes.
The crane acquisitions were co-funded by Poland’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The new infrastructure was recently tested with the maiden call of MSC Venice.
The 18,500 TEU containership is 399 metres long. According to BCT, it is the largest and longest container vessel to have called at the Port of Gdynia.
The completion of the project coincides with a leadership change at the terminal.
Patrick Chan has been appointed CEO of BCT, succeeding Wojchiech Szymulewicz, who had led the terminal since 2019.
BCT said the completed investment has strengthened its operating platform and increased terminal capacity.
