What DCT Gdańsk does

DCT Gdańsk, operating commercially as Baltic Hub, is a privately held deepwater container terminal located in Port Gdańsk, Poland, founded in 2007 and operating as Baltic Hub Container Terminal Sp. z o.o. The terminal spans 124 hectares across three deepwater berths (T1, T2, T3) and is designed to serve ultra-large container vessels, with a stated annual capacity of 4.5 million TEU. In 2025, the terminal handled 2.77 million TEU, serving major ocean carriers including MSC, Maersk, and OOCL as primary customers, with trucking companies, railway operators, and freight forwarders as secondary segments. Its geographic position at the Baltic Sea nexus connects Asia, the European Union, and Central-Eastern European markets via intermodal sea-rail-road transfer.

The technology stack is anchored by the Navis N4 terminal operating system, which manages container flow, yard operations, vessel scheduling, and gate transactions, and integrates with the Polish Customs (Polskie PCS) system for automatic MRN registration. Customer-facing digital platforms include Sprawdź Kontener Online for real-time container tracking, eOferta for electronic quotations, eAwizacje for advance arrival notifications, eBrama for driver gate appointments (becoming mandatory in July 2026), and a customer-facing API for programmatic access. Container owner codes are registered with the Bureau International des Containers (BIC) for international identification. Additional services include VGM certification, border clearance for non-EU goods, and a Container Freight Station (CFS) complex for LCL cargo handling.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee pricing on container handling services (stevedoring, yard storage, gate operations, intermodal transfer) plus specialized charges for reefer, out-of-gauge (OOG), and 45-foot containers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotes are issued via the eOferta system. The company has no disclosed parent, no funding rounds on record, and no publicly traded equity, operating as a standalone Polish private limited liability company. Active capacity expansion is underway through the T3 berth project, T2B back-of-port development, and the broader Program Feniks investment program.
