Port of Gdynia: current operator offered extension of grain terminal lease
The Port of Gdynia Authority announced on Tuesday that it has proposed to the current operator of the grain terminal an extension of the existing lease agreement. These actions do not halt the ongoing work toward signing a contract with the future operator – the company emphasized.
In brief
The Port of Gdynia Authority has proposed to Mondry, the current operator of the grain terminal, an extension of the lease agreement by an annex guaranteeing the terminal's operation until the tender procedures are completed. Port of Gdynia Authority spokeswoman Kalina Gierblińska said that Mondry set several conditions, which the port decided to meet, and the annexes have been submitted for signature. Port of Gdynia Authority vice-president Katarzyna Gruszecka-Spychała indicated that the goal is continuity of operations and support for the agro sector. The grain terminal in the Port of Gdynia can store up to 72 thousand tons of cargo.
In a statement sent to the Polish Press Agency (PAP), Kalina Gierblińska, spokesperson for the Port of Gdynia Authority, said that the port had offered the company Mondry (the current operator) an extension of the current lease agreement for the grain terminal through a relevant annex, ensuring the continued operation of the terminal until the completion of the tender procedures.
- Mondry expressed willingness to continue cooperation but presented several conditions. ZMPG S.A. decided to meet them. Relevant annexes, taking into account Mondry's demands, have been prepared and submitted for signing - she explained.
The statement emphasized that:
- Due to the time-consuming process of acquiring the data necessary to submit applications for corporate approvals and the administrative decision required to conclude a contract with the new lessee of the grain terminal, ZMPG is taking decisive steps to ensure the operational continuity of the terminal, specifically its stable cargo-handling activities.
The company also underlined that the current actions do not interrupt efforts to finalize the contract with the intended long-term operator.
- Since we cannot accelerate the process, we are looking for an alternative, interim solution. Our overarching goal is continuity of operations and support for the agricultural sector, which is crucial to Poland's economic security - said ZMPG Vice President Katarzyna Gruszecka-Spychała, quoted in the statement.
The grain terminal at the Port of Gdynia is a specialized bulk terminal offering transshipment and temporary storage services for grains, oilseeds, and feedstock materials. According to the port’s official website, the terminal includes flat warehouses, silos, and an elevator with a combined capacity allowing for the storage of up to 72,000 tons of cargo.
