First test of an Ocean-Going Vessel at the T3 Quay in Baltic Hub
Baltic Hub has reached another milestone in the implementation of the T3 project. For the first time, an ocean-going container ship – MSC Stacey – was handled at the new T3 quay. This impressive vessel, measuring 365.9 meters in length and with a capacity of 15,000 TEU, arrived in Gdansk on March 30 as part of an additional call, known as an “extra call.”
This event is of great importance both for Baltic Hub and the entire Pomeranian region. The commencement of test cargo handling at the T3 quay confirms that the project is progressing in the right direction and that full operational readiness is drawing closer. The new quay will enable the efficient handling of the world’s largest container ships, strengthening Gdansk’s position as a strategic port on the Baltic Sea.
The cargo handling tests were carried out using state-of-the-art STS quay cranes, which are a key element of the new terminal’s infrastructure. Their implementation ensures high efficiency and safety in cargo operations.
The full operational readiness of T3 is planned for the end of 2025. However, the enormous potential of this investment is already evident, significantly increasing Baltic Hub’s cargo handling capacity and contributing to the further development of the Port of Gdansk.
