PKP to create zl. 400 million logistics center in Silesia

PKP Cargo SA, a company owned by Polish State Railways (PKP), is planning to create a new international logistics center in Gliwice. This is a strategic point for southern Poland's transport network as Gliwice is the only railway container port in this part of the country which annually processes 20,000 containers, mostly from Germany, Italy, Austria and Hungary. It will be located near the planned A-1 highway and other express roads. The new center will serve the Silesian conurbation. Construction will take about three to four years and cost between zl. 400 million to zl. 500 million. The center will cover 70 hectares and will create 1,500 jobs. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 8) A.D.
