The Port of Gdansk closed 2025 with record cargo handling figures, handling 80.4 million tonnes, a 4% increase compared to 2024. The total number of vessels reached 4,394, including 3,650 commercial, and the average gross tonnage increased by 3.8%, confirming the port’s growing role in servicing large vessels and the efficient use of its deepwater infrastructure. Oil products retained their leading position in cargo turnover, handling 39.6 million tonnes (up 0.4%), including a record 37.4 million tonnes of crude oil at the Naftoport terminal.
The container segment was the main driver of growth: total cargo throughput increased by 16.6% to 27.2 million tonnes, and container terminals handled nearly 2.8 million TEUs (up 23%), including 2,766,475 TEUs at the Baltic Hub Container Terminal. This confirms the growing importance of container shipping for the port’s future development. Meanwhile, the dry bulk segment showed mixed trends: a 10.8% decline in coal to 7 million tonnes and a sharp decline in timber and grain, but an 8-12% increase in ore and other dry bulk.
The port continues active infrastructure investments: construction of Naftoport’s sixth berth for the largest tankers, development of an offshore wind terminal, expansion of berths in the inland port, and completion of the T3 terminal at the Baltic Hub. These measures strengthen Gdansk’s position as a key transport hub in the Baltic region and Central and Eastern Europe, ensuring dynamic yet sustainable development and diversification of cargo flows.
