Poland Opens Its First Offshore Wind Port Terminal in Gdansk

Poland has inaugurated its first offshore wind installation terminal, an infrastructure built at the Port of Gdansk with an investment of 1.2 billion zlotys, equivalent to about $303.6 million according to the local port authority. The terminal, named T5, opened on October 30 and will begin supporting the Baltica 2 project starting in November 2026.

T5 was built on 21.3 hectares of land reclaimed from the sea, as an extension of Baltic Hub's T1 terminal. It features an outer quay of 450 meters for jack-up vessels used in installation work, an inner quay of 350 meters, a 105-meter Ro-Ro berth, and a technical depth of 17.5 meters. The reinforced operational areas can support loads of up to 40 tonnes per square meter. Construction required around 3.5 million cubic meters of sand, close to 2,700 piles with a combined length of 85 kilometers, 35,000 cubic meters of concrete, and 12,000 tonnes of steel. The development was carried out by Istrana, with NDI Group as the general contractor and Transprojekt as the designer.

The terminal will support the Baltica 2 offshore wind farm, developed by PGE and Ørsted, which comprises 107 turbines and a total capacity of 1.5 GW, enough to supply around 2.5 million households. Offshore installation of the turbines is scheduled for 2027. The lease agreement with Elektrownia Wiatrowa Baltica 2 was signed in 2024, and until now project components were handled through the Danish port of Rønne; with T5, they can now be prepared and dispatched directly from Gdansk.

According to the port authority, T5 is expected to serve offshore wind projects for at least 10 to 15 years, and it already has a reservation agreement in place for the BC-Wind project, developed by Ocean Winds. The Port of Gdansk is Poland's largest port by cargo volume, handling 80.4 million tonnes in 2025 and 65.2 million tonnes in the first nine months of 2026. Baltic Hub, the operator of the neighboring container terminal, handled more than 2.7 million TEU in 2025 and is controlled 40% by Singaporean port group PSA International, 30% by PFR, and 30% by IFM Global Infrastructure Fund.
