WORKS have begun on the new flagship container terminal built on the Baltic Sea as part of the Polish Port of Gdansk, reports London's Port Technology.
Baltic Hub started construction of its third deep-water Terminal, T3, in the presence of Ministry of Infrastructure secretary Marek Grobarczyk on November 28.
It's expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025, and the new terminal will have a 717-metre long and 17.5-metre deep quay wall.
It will be Baltic Hub's third deepsea berth that can handle the largest container vessels in the world.
The largest port in Poland is the fastest-growing EU port of the last decade, and the new terminal will also provide 36.5 hectares of additional operating space.

The investment is worth US$467 million. The project will be open for commercial operations after the first phase is completed in the first half of 2024.
The construction of the T3 project will be executed in two phases. In the first phase, the companies Budimex and DEME consortium will build the 36-hectare terminal area next to Terminal 1.
It will increase the handling capacity of the Baltic Hub 1.5 million TEU to 4.5 million TEU per year. In the second phase, the 717-metre long, 17.5 metre deep quay wall will commence.
It is scheduled to start in early 2023 and be completed in the second quarter of 2025.
"Just 10 years ago, Poland was not a significant player in container handling," said Mr Grobarczyk.
"Today, we are starting a historic investment - the largest container port. I think that the board of Baltic Hub has not yet said the last word as their plans are very ambitious."
