The Port of Gdynia achieved significant milestones in 2024, underscoring its vital role in Poland's maritime economy. The past year saw remarkable financial results and high performance in key cargo categories, reflecting the port's dynamic growth.
Container handling success
- In 2024, we came close to the record set in 2021 of 986,000 TEUs. Last year, we reached 975,000 TEUs – said Piotr Gorzeński, president of the Port of Gdynia Authority. - Surpassing the one million TEU threshold is within reach and remains a realistic goal for the future – added president Piotr Gorzeński.
The Port of Gdynia continues to rank as one of Poland's leading ports, ensuring efficient handling of diverse cargo groups and supporting the development of the national maritime economy. The cargo handling results in other categories further illustrate this success.
Key sector developments
- Dynamic growth is evident in the ro-ro technology segment, where handling volumes increased by over 20% compared to the previous year. The grain segment reached 5.5 million tons. Despite a decline due to normalization following extraordinary results caused by geopolitical factors, Gdynia maintains its dominant market position – explained president Gorzeński.
Coal handling followed similar trends, driven by global economic shifts, including decarbonization efforts. Meanwhile, the port maintained strong performance in liquid fuel handling, exceeding 3 million tons in the annual summary.
Financial achievements
