PORTS & MARITIME LOGISTICS Boom in economy and in container turnover Picture taken from the lighthouse in the port of Kolobrzeg. The growth of the economy (6,7 per cent) that Poland experienced during the fi rst half of 2007 was considerably higher than expected. Some people maintain that it was driven by the construction sector. POLAND This can however not be the only reason. There has also been a rise in cargo turnover and changes in the cargo structure of the Polish ports. There must be some other motors of economic growth apart from the construction sector. The container revolution taking place in Polish ports right now is an obvious evidence for that. The number of containers handled in Polish ports increases by 15–16 per cent each year (world average is 9.2–11 per cent). A report released by Actia Forum in the fi rst half of 2007 shows that Polish ports are experiencing the fastest development of all Baltic ports. Container handling grew fastest in Szczecin-Swinoujscie (+16.4 per cent) and Gdynia (+15.2 per cent). According to the analysts, container handling will increase by 244 per cent during the next ten years. In the same period, capacity is to be tripled, from 938,000 TEU (20 feet containers) to 2,978,000 TEU. Only Russian ports will face a faster development. In the years 2004–2008, total investments will reach approximately PLN 500 million (EUR 135 million). Russian investments are to be four times higher. Growing capacity Altogether Polish ports handled 582,000 TEU in 2006. Only in Gdynia, which has the largest container turnover, 461,200 TEU were handled. Thanks to the investments during the next fi ve years, the capacity of Polish ports will become considerably higher. Polish ports will be able to handle eight million containers a year. Within the fi rst fi ve years after the investments have been completed the ports will be able to handle four times more containers than now. Ports are trying to invest as much as possible since the analysts predict that commercial trade with East European nations will expand. Today the capacity in Polish ports is approximately 1.7 million containers a year, which is a lot more than the current demand. Within the following years the capacity is to be four times bigger. The container turnover in Gdynia grew by 15 per cent in 2006 and the increase is accelerating this year. At three terminals in Gdynia – Baltic Container Terminal (BCT), Gdynia Container Terminal and Baltic General Cargo Terminal – 288,200 TEU have been handled in the fi rst half of 2007, a 37 per cent growth in comparison with the fi rst half of 2006.

There has been a significant fall in handling of dry bulk cargoes, especially coal, coke and ore. The drop was dramatic in the ports of Szczecin and Swinoujscie. The turnover decrease in Gdansk was compensated to a certain extent by the rise in oil products handling. Gdynia, where focus is mainly on general cargo handling, gained most after the change in the cargo transshipment structure. The increase of cargo handled in this port was larger than the combined decrease in Szczecin, Swinoujscie and Gdansk.
