These expenditures form part of a wider 2025–2027 investment programme worth PLN 1.3 billion, covering the modernization of the Helskie I and Indyjskie quays as well as the expansion of turning basin No. 2. Upon completion, the port’s handling capacity is expected to rise from the current 42.04 million tonnes to around 47 million tonnes annually, and following the first phase of the Outer Port project – up to 65 million tonnes.

Last year alone, the port spent PLN 286.6 million on investments – PLN 272.1 million in infrastructure and PLN 14.5 million in suprastructure (cargo handling facilities and systems).
The 2025 financial plan assumes revenues of PLN 423.6 million, with PLN 369.3 million (87.2%) generated from services. The largest share will come from lease and rental services – PLN 209 million (49.3%), followed by port fees – PLN 105 million (24.8%), and other services – PLN 55.3 million (13.1%).
In operational terms, 2024 proved challenging. Total cargo throughput at the Port of Gdynia fell by 2.5 million tonnes (8.5%) to 26.9 million tonnes.
