Dockland revival on the cards for Gdańsk
The port town will soon be home to the biggest warehousing project in northern Poland. Colliers International has been named as the agent for the Logistics Park Hub by DCT Gdańsk. The development will cover 138.6 hectares and will be designed and built by a partnership of the City of Gdańsk, the Port of Gdańsk and DCT, which operates an adjoining deepsea container terminal.
Currently, DCT is developing a new infrastructure that the Hub and the deepsea terminal will share. The city authorities hope that the project will give an employment boost to the area.
According to James Sutcliffe, the CEO of DCT: "We are very pleased to make an additional investment into Gdańsk directly adjoining what will be the only deepsea container terminal in Poland. All the administrative decisions necessary for the construction of the container terminal have been arranged very efficiently and on time so that construction can start next month. Soon the A1 motorway will be built , which will link via the suspension bridge the new Hub logistics park."
Hadley Dean, managing director with Colliers, says: "I believe that having arranged the A1 construction works, Gdańsk will soon become one of the largest industrial regions in Poland."
This is further good news for the area, which also looks set to become a terminal for a new oil pipeline from the Ukraine. The Polish and Ukrainian governments have been trying to resurrect a plan that would see the Odessa-Brody pipeline extended to Gdańsk. This was originally planned when the pipeline was constructed, but Kiev reversed the decision under pressure from Moscow. Now, under the new presidency, it is pressing ahead with the scheme and TNK-BP has already expressed an interest in constructing the pipeline.
