The competitiveness of a seaport depends to a large extent on the port’s communication accessibility. This accessibility should be considered from both the seaside and the landside (hinterland) of the port. The areas defined as the hinterland of the Tri-City ports include the regions of southern and central Poland as well as countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
In order to increase the handling capacity of the Tri-City ports, new container handling terminals have been established in recent years: the Gdynia Container Terminal and the Deepwater Container Terminal in Gdańsk. These ports also maintain regular ferry connections with Scandinavia.
In the immediate vicinity of the Tri-City ports, there are important national roads leading to the west, south, and east of Poland, as well as a network of provincial roads. Additionally, the route of the Trans-European Transport Corridor No. VI, connecting Scandinavia with the south of Europe and Mediterranean ports, runs through the Port of Gdańsk. Regarding land-based communication accessibility, the biggest problem for the Tri-City ports is the lack of an A-class motorway and adequate access roads to the ports. To improve this situation, investments related to the expansion of road infrastructure are being carried out in Gdynia and Gdańsk. In Gdynia, the construction of the third stage of the Kwiatkowski Route has been completed, and in Gdańsk, work is underway on the construction of the Sucharski Route and the
Southern Bypass.
THE AVAILABILITY OF THE COMMUNICATION OF GDANSK AND GDYNIA PORTS IN TERMS OF EXPANDING ROAD NETWORK PORT FACILITIES
Abstract
The competitiveness of the seaport is very dependent on the communication’s availability of the port. The availability of this should be considered from both the outskirts and the facilities of the port. The areas identified as seaports of Tri-City facilities should be classified as a road of south and central regions of Poland and countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In order to increase the handling capacity of ports of Tri-City in recent years there were built new terminals for handling containers, Gdynia Container Terminal and Deepwater
Container Terminal in Gdansk. These ports also maintain regular ferry connections to Scandinavia.
In the immediate vicinity of the ports of Tri-City, there are important national roads leading to the west, south and east of Poland and provincial road network. In addition, the Port of Gdansk crossing the Pan-European (…)
