The DCT Gdańsk container terminal, while expanding its feeder connections, has established cooperation with the Hamburg Süd line, whose first containers were handled at DCT Gdańsk on July 20, 2015.
Hamburg Süd is a German container line with a long-standing tradition. As a global line, Hamburg Süd has over 250 representative offices worldwide. In 2015, the line received the Asia Cargo News award for: “Best Green Shipping Line”.
– The last few weeks have been full of news about the growing range of DCT Gdańsk clients. This is, on one hand, a natural result of our long-term work on building a solid brand, and on the other, a confirmation that the unique offer of DCT Gdańsk is attractive to global carriers, which are world leaders in the container shipping industry – summarized Dominik Landa, Commercial Director of DCT Gdańsk S.A.
DCT is the largest and fastest-growing Polish container terminal and the only deep-water terminal in the Baltic Sea region to which ships from the Far East call directly. The DCT terminal, located in the heart of the Baltic Sea – in the Port of Gdańsk, is the easternmost terminal in the group of deep-water North European ports between Gdańsk and Le Havre.
The terminal handles Polish imports, exports, transit, and maritime transit. Thanks to good access from the sea provided by an approach channel with a depth of 17 m and up to 16.5 m along the quay, the lack of icing, and excellent operational capabilities, DCT is a natural hub for containerized cargo turnover in Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to infrastructure investments implemented by the Polish government and the city of Gdańsk, the DCT terminal is very well connected to inland locations and is a true gateway to Central and Eastern Europe.
Hamburg Süd containers will use the weekly Seago Line feeder service at DCT.
