Gdańsk container terminal

Capacity doubled on time

Since 2016, the international port of Gdańsk, Poland, welcomes a new generation of huge container carriers in deepwater facilities with doubled handling capacity. Designed and built under tight deadlines by BESIX and NDI.

We took on a number of challenges, with important implications on the design. The flexible collaboration with Industria, our local design subcontractor, enriched our work experience in terms of designing structure, communicating and problem-solving.

Baltic giants

In 2016 Gdańsk's international port 2016 doubled its deepwater container handling capacity to 3 million TEU ('twenty-foot equivalent', the unit used to measure container size) to make it today's largest container terminal in the Baltic Sea. This follows the commissioning of the new T2 terminal, designed and built by BESIX and NDI, and the extension of the existing terminal T1 facilities.
