Baltic Hub in Gdańsk has secured more than €50 million in EU funding for rail and electrification works. The money will support a wider upgrade aimed at handling more cargo and cutting emissions.
IntermodalNews.eu lately reported, that the Baltic Hub located in Gdańsk, Poland recently received another investment from the Centre for EU Transport Projects. The amount of over €50 million should be used for funding electrification and modernization of the container terminal. Nevertheless, this grant makes only about 40 percent of the total investment value.
The project will not only provide the terminal with more opportunities for further electrification but will also help expand its rail infrastructure. These improvements will contribute to increasing the terminal’s capacity, facilitating transport flows, and reducing its negative environmental impact.
Why Gdańsk Matters for Europe–Asia Trade
According to Baltic Hub’s CEO, the agreement represents an important milestone in the Hub’s development. "This investment will strengthen our position as a key port ecosystem in Central and Eastern Europe while accelerating our transition towards more sustainable and efficient operations," Jan Van Mossevelde said.
The official Baltic Hub website states that the port can be seen as a "natural gateway to Central and Eastern Europe." The terminal supports various types of shipments, including rail freight, and serves as a transit point for goods arriving from China, South Korea, and other Asian countries.

How Baltic Hub Built Up Its Rail Operations
Rail transport plays a key role in intermodal transportation. Despite ongoing competition from road freight, Baltic Hub handled more than 9,000 trains in 2025.
The port’s history is relatively short. In 2020, the terminal opened its representation office in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while also introducing three new electrically powered Rail-Mounted Gantry (RMG) cranes into its operations. This marked another step towards increasing capacity for the Hub’s customers.
A year later, the Gdańsk port became one of the largest rail container terminals in Europe following the expansion of its rail siding. In 2022, the company was officially rebranded as "Baltic Hub."
