Gdynia Container Terminal - A member of CK Hutchison Holdings

Gdynia Container Terminal (GCT) is a full-service container and heavy-lift handling facility, located in the Port of Gdynia. GCT has historically served as a feeder port connecting Poland with the hubs in Bremerhaven, Hamburg and Rotterdam as well as a load centre for Polish exports to the United Kingdom. In 2015, GCT completed its deepwater port development program to offer its global shipping line customers a deepwater berth for vessels up to 19,000 TEU (400 m LOA) with an initial draft of 13.0 m and planned maximum draft of 15.0 m. The development project also covered the construction of new stacking yards, the expansion of the rail terminal and the purchase of equipment, including super-post-Panamax quay cranes and eRTGCs. GCT enjoys excellent road and rail connections. Notably, the elevated highway link with the Tri-City Bypass and the North-South A-1 Highway add to GCT's competitive advantage in terms of accessibility to the hinterland. GCT is a member of Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), a subsidiary of the multinational conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings Limited (CK Hutchison), the world's leading port investor, developer and operator. The HPH network consists of 52 ports located in 27 countries throughout Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Americas and Australasia. In 2019, the HPH port network handled a combined throughput of 86.0 million TEU worldwide.
