PKP Cargo announces plans for nine logistics centers

In the next few years, PKP Cargo plans to construct nine logistics centers at an estimated cost of zł. 200 million and zł. 500 million per center, this adds up to a total investment of between zł. 1.8 billion and zł. 4.5 billion. The first center will be constructed in Małaszowice, which is close to the Belarussian border, and will require zł. 80 million to zł. 100 million next year alone. Goods are already being shipped through Małaszowice, but depots, customs warehouses and other infrastructure all need to be built. According to Janusz Mincewicz, a company spokesman, the locations have already been chosen and each center will be a separate entity, although they might be created with the participation of an investor. PKP Cargo would transfer infrastructure and property, while any partner would bring the cash necessary for the development. The company is also willing to become a shareholder in the logistics center in Sławków, which will be constructed on property belonging to Centrala Zaopatrzenia Hutnictwa. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B5) M.M.
