Polish Ports Achieve Record Cargo Throughput Driven by Government and EU Investments
In 2025, Polish ports achieved record cargo throughput, with a total of 141 million tons, driven by nearly 3 billion PLN in government and EU investments. Container throughput increased by 18% to 3.9 million TEU, with Szczecin seeing a significant 44% rise. Despite these gains, exports of wood and grain fell sharply, and coal throughput declined to 9.3 million tons, while infrastructure projects, including a new offshore terminal in Gdańsk, are set to enhance future capacity.

In 2025, Polish ports in Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin, and Świnoujście reported record cargo throughput, driven by government, EU, and private investments. Container throughput reached 3.9 million TEU, an 18% increase from the previous year.
Szczecin saw a 44% increase, Gdańsk 23%, and Gdynia 5%. Total cargo volume rose to 141 million tons, nearly 5 million tons more than in 2024, with notable increases in LNG and steel products. However, exports of wood and grain decreased by 44% and 17%, respectively, and coal throughput dropped to 9.3 million tons.
The government allocated nearly 3 billion PLN for maritime economy development, 49.5% more than last year, focusing on port infrastructure investments, including a new offshore terminal in Gdańsk. Plans for a container terminal in Świnoujście were revised after failed negotiations with a consortium, now to be developed by the Maritime Office in Szczecin, with construction expected to begin in 2027.
