Port of Gdańsk will receive 4-5 mln tonnes of imported coal until the end of the year

The Port of Gdańsk, the largest seaport in Poland, will receive 4-5 million tonnes of imported coal from August until the end of the year, the company's vice president Sławomir Michalewski said. In August alone, the port received 1.1 million of tonnes.

“If we compare the seven months of this year to the seven months of last year, it is an increase of 60%,” he noted. When asked if there was too much coal in Poland, he said no, because the quality varies. For example, coal from South Africa is of good quality, while Indonesian coal is of worse quality. 

Prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki this week assured that coal availability throughout the heating season will be “very high” as Poland is importing from all over the world.
