The end of last year was exceptionally dynamic in the Port of Gdynia. In the last weeks of 2018. an agreement was signed between PGA SA and the Ministry of National Defense regarding the modernization of the northern spur, constituting an element of entry from the aisport to the inner part of the Port of Gdynia.
The extension of the entrance next to the enlarged turntable is a key factor enabling the use of full port capabilities in the scope of servicing units up to 400 meters.
It is worth noting that the agreement is also part of the recently signed contract for co-financing the project with CUPT, whose main goal is to deepen the port basin, and thus expand the port infrastructure in the context of the possibility to call containers of Baltimax parameters to the port.
Currently, project work is underway to shorten the northern spur, and the coordination of the process takes place in close cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense.
