Baltic Hub Container Terminal (DCT Gdańsk)

Baltic Hub (DCT Gdańsk) started its operations on the 1st of June 2007, when the first commercial container ship called at the Deepwater Container Terminal. During the first years of operation, the terminal specialised in servicing feeder ships. Since January 2010, container vessels with the capacity of 8,000 TEU from the Far East have called at Gdańsk every week. The possibility of direct connection with Asia contributed to the development of the Deepwater Container Terminal, which has become the Baltic Hub and one of the fastest developing terminals in the world.

In 2011, the terminal started servicing E class container vessels with a capacity of 15,500 TEU, and in 2013 Triple E class vessels with a capacity of 18,000 TEU belonging to Maersk Line.

In 2015, two shipping alliances – 2M (Maersk Line and MSC) and G6 operating at that time (APL, Hapag-Lloyd, HMM, MOL, NYK and OOCL), as well as shipping lines: UASC, Team Lines, Hamburg Sud and DAL joined the group of customers of the Baltic Hub (DCT). In 2017, the G6 alliance was replaced by Ocean Alliance (OOCL, COSCO, CMA CGM, Evergreen).

Baltic Hub (DCT), as the only such facility in the Baltic Sea, is able to handle container vessels carrying over 24 thousand 20-foot containers (24 thousand TEU). One of these is MSC Gülsün, at almost 400 m long. When the second deepwater container quay was built in 2016, it doubled the capacity of Baltic Hub (DCT) to 3 million TEU annually, to become the largest container terminal in the Baltic Sea in terms of reloading.
In 2023, the terminal handled 2,047,112 TEU.

The terminal offers the following permanent container connections:
