Port of Gdynia is a dynamically developing Polish sea port with a convenient location in the area of the Gdansk Bay.

The Port of Gdynia is a key port of the Trans-European Transport Network and a substantial node of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor. As a partner with a strong brand, known for high quality of services rendered, the Port of Gdynia faces further challenges related to technology and market development. The introduction of new generation of ocean-going vessels into service, determines our activities to adapt the port infrastructure adequately.
