Construction of the T3 terminal in Gdansk, one of the largest hydrotechnical projects in the region, has officially been completed. Work commenced in September 2022 after all permits were obtained, and was carried out by Budimex and DEME under the supervision of Haskoning. The project involved over 400 specialists, and the total volume of work performed exceeded 3.2 million man-hours. The artificial island was created using 4.37 million cubic meters of sand, 160,000 cubic meters of concrete, and 17,500 tons of steel—a figure comparable to global engineering megaprojects.
The new 36.4-hectare terminal includes 717 meters of deep-water berth and high-tech infrastructure: seven automated STS cranes and 20 remotely operated daily aRMGs. Giant STS cranes, up to 150 meters tall, are capable of handling the largest vessels with a capacity of over 24,000 TEU. All equipment runs on green energy, in line with Baltic Hub’s strategy to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
With the opening of T3, Baltic Hub has become the largest and deepest container terminal in the Baltic Sea, with over 124 hectares of operational area and 2.1 kilometers of berths. This strengthens Gdansk’s role as a key transport gateway for Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. According to the company’s CEO, Jan Van Mossevelde, the new terminal significantly improves the efficiency and sustainability of international supply chains, strengthening intermodal connections between global maritime routes and European rail infrastructure.
