From the beginning of the year, the port operator PG Eksploatacja S.A. handled a total of 4.2 million tons of goods. September turned out to be a record month, ended at the level of 800,000 tone. The main cargo groups are coal, coke, ore, grain, general cargo, and other bulk.


Due to the Russian aggression on Ukraine, the operator is carrying out increased reloading of coal, which is imported from destinations such as Colombia, Australia and Indonesia. Since the beginning of the year, the company has transhipped over 2 million tons of it, which makes it the second largest operator at the Port of Gdańsk handling this raw material. The company carries out reloading at 5 quays: Dworzec Drzewny, Rudowe, Szczecińskie, Węglowe and Wiślane.


- In response to domestic needs related to the import of coal to our country, in cooperation with PGA S.A. we systematically improve our infrastructure, increasing both the storage of goods and the reloading capacity. We invest in mobile handling equipment and increase the area of storage yards. We plan to close this year with the result of 6.5 million tonnes of transhipped goods. It would be a historic record - says Paweł Nowak, president of PG Eksploatacja S.A.

Currently, the company is at the final stage of negotiations for the third device. Investments in reloading equipment significantly increase the company's reloading capacity. Since the beginning of the year, the company has handled 411 ships, 62 of which were carrying coal. By the end of the year, more than 50 ships with this raw material are announced.
