DCT Gdańsk is well-equipped and is capable of serving ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) with a capacity of up to 23,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEUs).

PFR chief executive Pawel Borys was quoted by Reuters as saying that IFM and PFR will each own 30% of the port, while the remaining 40% will be held by PSA.

The news agency said that Macquarie launched a sale of the terminal in December, which could be valued at around $1.7bn.

DCT Gdańsk, which had a capacity of 1.9 million TEUs last year, is expected to reach full capacity in the upcoming years.

PSA, PFR and IFM are planning to construct a new expansion area to allow for further development of DCT Gdańsk and increase its capacity.
