Synopsis
A consortium of investors including Polish Development Fund completed its acquisition of the country’s largest container terminal in Gdańsk from the Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets, MTAA Super, AustralianSuper and Statewide Super in a deal worth €1.4bn. DCT Gdańsk is situated at the crossroads of the Baltic deep-sea trading routes and holds a strategic position as a major gateway into Poland and Central-Eastern European markets. DCT Gdańsk is the fastest growing container port in Europe and is ranked amongst the 15 largest container ports on the continent. “We are pleased that we managed to successfully complete the acquisition of a special asset - the only deep-water container terminal in Poland and the entire Baltic Sea basin. I believe that the unique combination of local and international content, as well as PSA’s operational know-how will reinforce DCT Gdańsk for further growth. The new owners support DCT’s ambitious expansion plans, including construction of a new terminal in the coming years to utilize and leverage economic growth of Poland and the CEE,” Paweł Borys, PFR CEO.
