en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Przylądek Pomerania deepwater container terminal project in Świnoujście, Poland, has been officially launched, with a planned annual throughput capacity of 2 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).

The Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports Authority has handed over the construction site to the contractor, with the first phase beginning with the construction of a temporary technical road. This initial contract covers over 2.5 kilometers of access roads, as well as related technical infrastructure such as power supply, rainwater drainage, and high-pressure gas pipelines.

The temporary road contract is valued at approximately €6.3 million (PLN 27.5 million), with a construction period of 10 months. A contract engineer has begun overseeing the implementation phase, with their scope of work involving related engineering for future road and railway systems.

The container terminal is located east of the existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. The project will create approximately 186 hectares of land through land reclamation in the Bay of Pomerania. Planned terminal infrastructure includes 1.3 kilometers of container terminal quay, nearly 3 kilometers of new shoreline, an approach channel, and a basin with a depth of 17 meters.

The terminal's railway facilities are designed to support inland container transport from Świnoujście to markets in Central and Eastern Europe. The terminal is designed to accommodate the largest ocean-going container vessels currently able to enter the Baltic Sea, which is expected to generate new intermodal transport demand on Poland's north-south freight routes.

Marine preparatory work has also commenced simultaneously at the planned site of the comprehensive breakwater. Seabed clearance operations are scheduled to continue until October 2026.
