Two modern fertiliser warehouses opened in Gdansk Free Trade Zone

(Posted on 06/01/26)

Two modern warehouses belonging to Solid Port, one of the key operators in the Inner Port, have been inaugurated in the Free Trade Zone at the Port of Gdansk

Solid Port conducts tasks such as handling operations at the WOC (Free Trade Zone) Quay. As part of the new investment, on land leased from the Port of Gdansk for 30 years, they have erected two steel-structured tent-type buildings, designed on a rectangular plan with 40×60 m base dimensions plus a ridge height of 14.5 m. The walls and roofs of the halls have been made using a durable PVC coating. These warehouses are used to store organic fertilisers.

Solid Port has a significant role in handling such bulk cargo as loose raw materials, aggregates and fertilisers. These types of cargo are essential for the functioning of many sectors of the economy, including industry, agriculture and trade. The activities of such entities make it possible to maintain the continuity of supplies of these strategic goods. It has invested consistently in the development of infrastructure and superstructure for many years, systematically raising the cargo handling standards.

The opening of new warehouses is a response to the growing needs of the market and customers. The investment significantly increases the operator’s throughput and storage capacity, strengthening its position as one of the leaders in bulk cargo handling within the Inner Port. The new infrastructure makes it possible to handle larger volumes of goods, reduce cargo handling time and manage the logistics processes more efficiently.

‘Such investments strengthen our position as the largest port in Poland and one of the key logistics hubs in the Baltic Sea region’, said Dorota Py?, President of the Port of Gdansk. ‘I am convinced that the new warehouses will serve not only Solid Port, but the entire supply chain, as well as supporting the development of Polish trade and the economy’.

The new warehouses are located parallel to each other and to the public internal road within the WOC area, on Przemys?owa Street. Fertilisers are to be stored in big bags with a capacity of 500, 600 and 1,000 kg, stacked in up to four layers. The total permissible amount of fertilisers stored in the entire area is up to 12,160 tonnes. A staff room container has also been set up beside them.

The investment also included the reconstruction of the existing technical infrastructure as well as the construction of new infrastructure. Electrical, water and sewage connections were made for the staff room container, as well as a storm water drainage system to drain water from the storage yard.

‘Between 2019 and 2025, we handled a total of 242 ships and 1.3 million tonnes of cargo. To meet the expectations of our contractor, ICL Europe Cooperatief UA, in 2024 we decided to make a joint investment to build these two storage warehouses. This is an important step in the development of our company, as it allows us to increase our operational capabilities, streamline the logistics processes and improve the quality of service for our customers’, said Henryk Groth, President of Solid Port, during the ceremony.

This is another important step in the development of the logistics and storage facilities of the Port of Gdansk, as it strengthens its competitiveness and importance on the map of European ports.
