It was common knowledge that to repeatedly attain that outcome in 2004 would have been considered successful. All the more so, as all outlooks envisaged a 50% plunge in the handling of coal (with its volume handled at the Port of Gdansk in 2003 total 5,926,194 tonnes). However, the marketing and commercial departments of both, the Port of Gdansk Authority SA and Port of Gdansk Cargo Logistics working at full stretch coupled with the improved market conditions resulted in the favourable achievements way beyond expectations. These, on the other hand, added up to another record high rate of cargo handling in the Port of Gdansk. A total volume of various commodities handled at the quays owned by the Port of Gdansk in 2004 stood at some 23,300,000 tonnes, which indicates a growth of over 2 million tonnes. The largest share of these goods had been taken by fuels that accounted for 11,570 thou. tonnes, i.e. nearly 1,600 thou. tonnes more than in 2003. Contrary to the pessimist assumptions, the port workers had handled 5,920,844 tonnes of coal, which is only over 5 thou. less that in the previous year. It is necessary to take a note of a 105 thou. tonnes growth in general cargo, which had brought an overall result of nearly 2,400 thou. tonnes. The comparable rate in cargo handling vis-a-vis the previous year had been maintained for other bulk - slightly over 2.5 million tonnes, as well as the volume of grain that reached 390 thou. tonnes. In total, port workers have handled 22,600 thou. tonnes of various goods at their own quays, whilst, taking into consideration volumes at the other port quays, which in 2004 had stood at some 700 thou. tonnes - an overall turnover amounted to some 23.3 million tonnes of cargoes. - Fortunately, the pessimistic prognosis of a 50% drop in the handling of coal failed to come true - says the chief dispatcher at the Port of Gdansk, Marek Czernowski. Admittedly, there had been a decreased volume of coal by some 200 thou. tonnes reported in the Northern Port, though, on the other hand, 300 thou. tonnes of coke had been acquired at the quays of the Inner Port. Such an occurrence of replacing one type of cargo with another had also been successfully applied as far as general cargo is concerned. Worthwhile to mention here is a fall in such commodities as rice, milk and citrus fruit, whilst a growth had been observed, especially in the first half-year, in the handled volumes of rolled steel and, first and foremost, in container turnover. In 2003, the Gdansk Container Terminal had handled nearly 20 thou. TEU, whereas in 2004 - already close to 41.2 thou. TEU. This bodes well for the future, even more so, as the work has been commenced on the expansion and modernisation of the Gdansk Container Terminal, which is bound to result in its increased throughput. The figures on cargo handling volumes set out above, after the information from all quays have been compiled and completed, along with the archive data will be available on graphs in the " Cargo statistics " section.

"Yeoman Bontrup" is a bulk carrier with a deadweight of 97 thou. DWT and a length of 250 meters. It sailed onto the roadstead of the Port of Gdansk on November 12 this year at 8:30 am, with its holds carrying a load of 32,043 tonnes of aggregate shipped from Glensanda (Scotland). A characteristic feature of this vessel is that it is equipped with a self-discharging device, namely a lengthy extension arm, which at the same time operates as a 85-meter long conveyer belt with a maximum deflection angle of 70 o relative to the ship axis. The discharge of aggregate onto the Rudowe Quay was commenced at 11:45 am. It took 11 hours and 5 minutes to unload the cargo of over 32 thou. tonnes.

This decision enables the investor, a British consortium of Deepwater Container Terminal (DCT), a launch of the construction work in practical terms. As informed by the investor, the announcement of a general contractor and the commencement of construction work shall take place as soon as January 2005. In line with the previously made assumptions, phase I of the investment implementation will ensure a throughput of the container terminal of 500 thou. TEU. Two berths shall be provided to handle ships of up to 330 meters in length each, including one berth designed for handling Ro-Ro vessels and, additionally, storage yards for containers (also refrigerated ones) developed, as well as infrastructure of the terminal and the approach thereof. The cost of phase I of the construction work totals some USD 175 million, whilst its implementation, as assured by the investor, will take 46 months. Ahead of that time limit, however, i.e. as early as 2006, a first container ship is expected to call at the newly built terminal. The completion of phase II shall increase the handling capacity up to 1m TEU. The construction of a container terminal that will boast such parameters (already in operation in the Port of Gdansk, there is the Gdansk Container Terminal that in 2004 had handled 40 thou. TEU, whilst in 2003 - nearly 20 thou. TEU) clears up a fast track towards successive investment projects planned in the Port of Gdansk. These cover, among the others, ferry, Ro-Ro and vehicle handling terminals, as well as a logistical and distribution hub. The implementation of the aforementioned investments entails not only hundreds of new job opportunities, but also a change in the image of the Port of Gdansk, upgrading from a bulk cargo port that relies mainly on the handling of oil crude and coal - towards a universal port. Such is the purpose that has been designated for the Port of Gdansk in the sustainable development plans of transportation network on the territory of the enlarged European Union, which provide for the Port of Gdansk to be ranked as a major multimodal junction within TransEuropean Transportation Corridor no 6 that together with the motorway of the sea will link the North of Europe with its South.

This month is the eleventh in succession to have shown a growth in cargo handling in relation to the previous, also record-breaking year. A total increase in handling volumes, as compared with the last year, has already reached 2 million tonnes. In general, during the eleven months of 2004, according to the compiled figures, Gdansk stevedores have handled 21.8 million tonnes of cargoes. The biggest group comprises liquid fuels - 11 million tonnes (by 1.8 million tonnes more than in the eleven months of 2003). The coal handling volume dropped by 120 thou. tonnes as compared with the last year, however, a volume of over 5.5 million tonnes still proves decidedly larger than envisaged in the outlooks for this period. A favourable cargo handling rate has been reported in the group "other bulk" - 2.4 million tonnes, as well as in general cargo - similarly 2.4 million tonnes. The latter has displayed a growth of about 300 thou. tonnes. Particular attention should be drawn to the container handling - in the eleven months the Gdansk Container Terminal has already handled 36,725 TEU. The above-mentioned prevailing cargo groups are supplemented with: grain - over 360 thou. tonnes, ore - 47 thou. tonnes and timber - 6 thou. tonnes. The results presented above will be further completed with figures compiled from other terminals and quays of the Port of Gdansk. It is expected that the figures reported for the first eleven months of 2004 will amount to nearly 22 million tonnes, however, the outcome at the close of November has already exceeded the cargo handling volumes recorded in the entire year 2003 by about 500 thou. tonnes. Despite the fact that Gdansk stevedores are still left the entire month of December to go, already now, the last year's record high performance has been successfully improved.

The conference was attended by 200 representatives coming from all Baltic states, inclusive of the delegation from Poland acting for Polish seaports, shipyards and shipping companies, headed by the Under-Secretary of State for Maritime Economy at the Ministry of Infrastructure, Witold Gorski. The conference had been promoted by the Association of Russian Commercial Seaports - ASOP and the Baltic Ports Organization - BPO. As of May 1 st , 2004, the Baltic Sea is the internal sea of the European Union, except for Russia. Hence the venue of the conference held the first time ever in Russia appears of major significance in terms of the future business cooperation across the entire region of the Baltic Sea. This region currently ranks among the most rapidly developing regions in the world. Sankt-Petersburg along with the entire Russian area of the Gulf of Finland is the scene of Russia's intense economic growth, as well as a major transportation hub of global importance situated at the crossroads of international transportation trails and, at the same time, a construction site of new port infrastructure coupled with the upgrades on the existing facilities under way - among the others in the ports of Sankt-Petersburg, Ust, Prymorsk, Visotsk and Viborg. The currently implemented "Russia's Transportation Strategy" provides for the region of Sankt-Petersburg to be seen as Russia's future major hub in terms of the transportation and maritime commerce. The cargo handling volumes recorded at the Russian Baltic ports have already exceeded the total turnover of Russian ports on the Black Sea. Additionally, Russia is becoming a significant transit country when it comes to the worldwide trade - the turnover recorded for the last year amounted to 189 million tonnes in the North - South direction, as well as the trans-Siberian East - West direction. During the conference and the exhibition TRANSTEC, part of the Polish Day, under the patronage of the Economy and Trade Department at the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Sankt-Petersburg and the Ministry of Infrastructure, a presentation was held of Polish ports, shipyards and shipping lines, that was predominantly aimed at the promotion of the Polish maritime economy and new opportunities for business cooperation resulting from the enlargement of the European Union. The delegation of the Port of Gdansk headed by the President of the Board of the Port of Gdansk Authority SA, Andrzej Kasprzak presented the current opportunities for transport cooperation, as well as the port infrastructure development projects comprised under the European transportation system and combined with the North - South and trans-Siberian international transport trails using the Baltic motorways of sea. The conference provided vital grounds for the exchange of information and practical experience in terms of developing the international transport corridors, as well as rendering of port, logistical and telecommunication services. The expansion of transport infrastructure, inclusive of the Baltic Sea ports, remains of pivotal importance for the commercial exchange not only between the European Union and Russia, but also when it comes to the transit goods in Russia's foreign exchange with the oversees countries. The Port of Gdansk is actively participating in this commercial exchange by means of providing cargo handling services in, for example, the transit of Russian crude oil. Considering the fact that 30-50% of Russia's cargo turnover in export, import and transit is already effected at the Baltic ports, the conference demonstrated the need for cooperation across the ports of the Baltic Sea as far as the prospective development of transport infrastructure is concerned.

Considering the fact that 30-50% of Russia's cargo turnover in export, import and transit is already effected at the Baltic ports, the conference demonstrated the need for cooperation across the ports of the Baltic Sea as far as the prospective development of transport infrastructure is concerned.

TEU as a vessel of "Emstal" was being loaded. The final destination for containers handled during this operation is the Far East. Such a successful result entails that 2004 is going to be a record-breaking year for the Gdansk Container Terminal. The best ratings hitherto recorded come from 2001 when a whole-year cargo handling volume totaled about 20,500 TEU. The rapid growth gives grounds for the assumption that this year's volume will have exceeded 35 thou. TEU. In practical terms, this means reaching the cargo handling capacity of the Gdansk Container Terminal, thus indicating the necessity to expand the infrastructure and superstructure of the Gdansk Container Terminal, in particular as the pace of growth is expected to be maintained over the coming year. The investment projects provide for such improvements like the extension of the operating quay by 92 meters that will enable the berthing of two large-sized vessels at a time. Additionally, investments are planned to increase the capacity in terms of containers storage and their handling. The Gdansk Container Terminal provides services to such lines as Orient Overseas Container Line, Inter Marine Container Lines, Delphis, Containerships Oy and Kursiu Linija. These guarantee regular connections with the major seaports on the Baltic Sea, as well as the North Sea. Publish this article Inform about the article Related events: 60 thou.
