“Once complete, the terminal will be the most advanced of its kind in the Baltic Sea and will reflect our commitment to sustainable investing and operating, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions both from the construction and the equipment we will deploy for future operations.”

T3 is slated to begin commercial operations by mid-2024. The project is expected to be fully complete by the second quarter of 2025.

After the completion of its first phase, T3 will boost DCT Gdansk’s handling capacity by 1.7 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) to an annual total of 4.5 million TEUs.

Baker added: “The launch of the works for T3 will mark the beginning of a new era for container handling in the Baltic region.”
