Gdansk to improve intermodal network

Poland’s Port of Gdansk will construct an additional rail track at the Deepwater Container Terminal (DCT) as part of a road and rail network expansion.

The project to upgrade the road and rail system at the Outer Port, which houses DCT Gdansk, will be co-funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), one of the European Union (EU)’s funding bodies.

Lukasz Greinke, president of the Port of Gdansk Authority, said: “Given the prospect for the construction of the Central Port, the road and rail system in the Outer Port had to change. The current connections are no longer adequate, and, thinking long-term, we are planning to prepare infrastructure ready to handle transhipments in the coming decades.”
