Port of Gdansk: first quarter results hit by COVID-19

The Port of Gdansk’s results for the first quarter of 2020 show an 8.3% drop in total volume of goods handled by the port, reflecting the current global COVID-19 crisis.

Decreases were recorded in most groups including containers, down 2.1% compared to the same period in 2019, as well as a 23.8% fall in roll-on roll-off (ro-ro) cargo.

The Polish port saw a drop in container transhipment, having handled 11.3m tonnes in the first quarter of 2020, although it still ranks second in the Baltic Sea for this category.
