The Vistula Spit's re-passage was supposed to increase tourist traffic in the area. Meanwhile, work on the expansion of the passenger jetty at the Krynica Morska Sea Port has been underway for more than a year. Pomeranian construction giant NDI Group is responsible for carrying out the work. What will the port in Krynica Morska gain when the work is completed?

The modernization of the marina, along with the expansion of the passenger jetty, is being carried out by NDI Group at the request of the Maritime Office in Gdynia. As explained last year by Capt. Wojciech Żurawski of the Maritime Office in Gdynia Delegation in Elbląg in the NDI Group's promotional material, the work can be divided into two parts - the extension of the pier to the south and the construction of a new part of the wharf reaching all the way to Gdańska Street. The additional 50 meters will simultaneously result in more berthing space for vessels, as well as less wave action in the port.

"The sheet pile walls have been plunged, vaulted and anchored. The ongoing work, related to the construction of the caps, is nearing completion, and in the next stage the equipment will be installed. The deadline for completion of the construction works is mid-April," Magdalena Kierzkowska, spokeswoman for the Maritime Office in Gdynia, told us.

Once the work is completed, Krynica Morska will gain a total of more than 120 meters of quay, which will be used by larger tourist ships.

Already completed is the extension of the passenger jetty, from 65 m to 100 m. The expansion of the entrance to the port from Gdanska Street is currently underway. A 91-meter section of the North Basin shoreline will also be strengthened.

In addition, Krynica Morska will gain additional infrastructure - 22 parking spaces in a nearby parking lot and a new 200-meter pedestrian and roadway near the port. City authorities expect that the reconstruction will result in a significant increase in tourist and sports sailing in the Krynica resort, including regattas and sailing training.
