Program T2B

• Three additional ship-to-shore cranes arriving in Q3 of 2018, enabling the T2 berth to deploy 8 cranes (all 25-wide outreach) by the end of this year. In support there will be an expansion of the yard area with 5 additional all-electric e-RTGs.
• The main gate will be fully automated with optical character recognition (OCR) cameras registering vehicles and containers arriving against bookings made in the VBS.
• The next key development will be to significantly increase rail capability with rail-sidings being extended to 750m and the number of sidings increased from 4 to 7;  The expansion will be supported by dedicated electrified RMG handling equipment as well as OCR cameras.

“The new investments are all focused on constant improvement in customer service levels across key areas. However that’s not all, over the next two years there will be a second fairway approach to the Port of Gdansk, which DCT will have access to. This will further reduce the time from pilot-station to berth, enhancing the total port turn-around time of the ULCV’s calling. Longer-term, DCT has considerable ability to expand both berth and yard footprint, so we can effectively continue to grow in-line with market demand” – comments Cameron Thorpe, CEO of DCT Gdansk.

DCT will provide regular updates on the successive phases of T2B investment project.
