A modern container depot will be created on a nearly six-hectare plot located in the western part of the Port of Gdynia. The Port of Gdynia Authority has just signed a 20-year lease agreement with Medlog Poland, part of the MSC group, one of the largest shipping companies on the planet.

On the last day of July, a lease agreement for land with an area of 59,787 meters between the Port of Gdynia and Medlog Poland was officially signed at the headquarters of the Port of Gdynia Authority. Under the agreement, Medlog will create a modern container depot.

The agreement on behalf of the Port of Gdynia Authority was signed by President Piotr Gorzeński and Vice President Mirosław Czapiewski. Medlog Poland was represented by Board Member Mikołaj Osiński. The agreement was signed for 20 years. The Ministry of Infrastructure and the General Assembly of the Port of Gdynia Authority both have given their consent.

– On this site, Medlog plans to build a container depot, a container repair facility and a modern, ecological container washing facility – describes Piotr Gorzeński, President of the Port of Gdynia. – Thanks to such a location, the range of services provided by the port is being expanded. I will only add that Medlog is part of the MSC group, currently the largest container shipowner in the world. The fact that this agreement was signed confirms that the Port of Gdynia remains a very important point on the map of global logistics operators.

Medlog Poland entered the tender for the lease of the plot in July last year. After a two-stage competition, which for the first time in the history of the port was conducted in the form of an electronic auction, it acquired the right to sign the agreement with the PGA after completing the formalities. Medlog will thus expand the scope of its operations in the Port of Gdynia – the company has been present there since 2021, when it began cooperation with the BCT container terminal in the field of servicing MSC containers and more. Medlog Poland is the Polish branch of the company, which is present in over 80 markets and boasts over 20 million TEU transshipped annually.

The new depot at Logistyczna Street will be equipped with, among other things, social and office facilities, as well as an automatic terminal gate, a container renovation hall and a special washing station operating in a closed water circuit. The whole is to meet high standards of environmental protection.
