Beschreibung

The loan concerns the construction of the Phase 1 of the new Outer Port in the Port of Gdynia (Poland), which will house a container terminal with a target capacity of 800,000 TEU annually. It consists in a multimodal connected maritime terminal with direct rail access, enhancing the interoperability between transport modes, thereby improving the sustainability of the transport chains and reducing market failures related to transport externalities. The project will be procured under a public-private partnership (PPP).

Ziele

In line with the EU priority objectives, the project aims to increase the capacity and efficiency of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) by providing extra maritime container handling capacity in a core TEN-T port in north Poland. It contributes to the connectivity of land-locked countries bordering Poland and provide additional competitive logistic solutions for exporters and importers in those countries. Additionally, it enables a modal shift from more carbon intensive transport modes to rail and maritime transport. The project is therefore eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects for developing less-developed regions and point (c) common interest. Quality of the Project: The project will provide for additional capacity and increased efficiency in the TEN-T transport network. It increases connectivity between different countries and improves the functioning of the internal market. The project will improve sustainable transport connections in the northern Polish hinterland. The availability of high quality and well-connected port facilities allows importers and exporters to optimise their supply chain and increase competitiveness. The economic costs and benefits and resulting economic return will be assessed in detail during appraisal.
