Baltic Hub sums up the year: new terminal, connections, and record volume
2026-01-22

Baltic Hub ended 2025 with record volumes, supported by investments in new infrastructure, the launch of the T3 terminal, and the expansion of the terminal's network of connections. The terminal handled the largest volume in its history: 2,767,287 TEU, a 23% increase over the previous year.

The past year was a period of intensive operational and investment development for Baltic Hub, strengthening the terminal's position as one of the key logistics hubs in the Baltic Sea region and Central and Eastern Europe. The launch of the new T3 terminal, an increase in the number of ocean services, and stable supply chains translated into significant volume growth and record operating results. This scale of activity was confirmed, among other things, by a record number of volume during a single call — 20,962 TEU — recorded in October 2025 on the OOCL Japan vessel. 

The increase also applied to the number of ships handled. In 2025, 763 ships called at the Baltic Hub, including 265 ocean-going vessels, compared to 642 calls (147 ocean-going vessels) in the previous year.

 

Key investment completed

In 2025, Baltic Hub completed the construction of its key project of recent years – the T3 terminal. It is the largest port investment in the Baltic Sea region, which took three years to build. The official inauguration took place in June, and at the beginning of October, the terminal became fully operational. The investment increases Baltic Hub's total handling capacity by 1.5 million TEU per year, to 4.5 million TEU, strengthening Gdańsk's role as a strategic logistics center for Central and Eastern Europe.

– T3 sets a new standard not only for Baltic Hub, but for the entire region. It is an investment that has significantly increased our handling capacity and strengthened the reliability of our operations, while bringing us closer to achieving our ambitious environmental goals. This success is the result of cooperation with our business partners and the commitment of the Baltic Hub team, which has worked consistently since the beginning of the project to make T3 a key link in modern and sustainable logistics in this part of Europe, says Jan van Mossevelde, CEO of Baltic Hub.

Terminal T3 is a 36.4-hectare facility with a 717-meter-long and 17.5-meter-deep quay, equipped with 20 remote-controlled aRMG cranes and 7 STS cranes capable of handling the world's largest container ships. The new terminal offers over 7,600 storage spaces, and all equipment operates on energy covered by guarantees of origin from renewable sources, supporting the Baltic Hub's goal of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The significant increase in volumes in 2025 has been largely driven by the launch of the new T3 terminal in June.


Gdańsk with new services

The year 2025 also saw an increasing number of services at the Gdańsk terminal. Since the end of March 2025, Baltic Hub has been handling three weekly connections for Maersk Line as part of the Gemini Cooperation. In April, the first ships also called at Gdańsk as part of two new MSC ocean services: Britannia and Albatros, connecting the Far East with Europe. In August, the terminal welcomed the first ship as part of the new PLS (Poland Shuttle) service operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE), strengthening links with Western European ports. The Albatros service also strengthened transatlantic connections – in September, it was expanded to include direct connections to the east coast of the US, improving trade between Poland and the United States.

The new network is an important step towards increasing flexibility and transport planning capabilities for the whole of Central and Eastern Europe. Regular calls at Gdańsk stabilize supply chains and increase operational predictability, while confirming the position of the Baltic Hub as the most important logistics hub in the Baltic region.


2026 focused on new investments

Baltic Hub is not slowing down and is entering the new year with plans that will contribute to the consistent development of the entire complex and strengthen its capabilities. The importance of rail volume is growing – in 2025 alone, the terminal handled 9,362 trains (over 1,100 more than in 2024), and among the key activities for the coming year is the further development of the rail system. There are also plans to develop the gate complex, which will increase the terminal's throughput and improve service to business partners. Baltic Hub will take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the T3 terminal to compete even more effectively in the market and ensure the highest operational reliability. All these activities will be accompanied by values that are key to the company: people, safety, innovation, and a responsible approach to the environment.
