Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia, Poland recently completed its railway terminal modernization project.
Part of BCT’s largest investment program, the modernization project was carried out in partnership with the Port of Gdynia Authority and was backed by the European Union Cohesion Fund under the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment.
The Port of Gdynia Authority was responsible for the development and modernization of the terminal’s rail network and other related infrastructure. For its part, BCT acquired and installed two rail-mounted gantry cranes from Kocks Krane GmbH for handling of full container cranes. Each crane is capable of more than 30 moves per hour.
With the project complete, BCT’s new rail facility can service up to 24 full container trains each day and has an annual capacity of 500,000 TEUs.
“This joint investment improves the competitiveness of our terminal and the port of Gdynia,” said Krzysztof Szymborski, BCT Chief Executive Officer.
BCT plans to further improve the terminal’s train service by investing in electric traction to improve train maneuvering at the port.
BCT is a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI).
