Baltic Hub has officially signed & sealed the construction of its latest 36.4-hectare expansion, adding 1.5 million of yearly TEU handling capacity after 36 months of works.

"The project involved the use of 4.37 million m³ of sand, 17,500 tonnes of steel, and 160,000 m³ of concrete," Baltic Hub detailed on its LinkedIn profile.

The new quay wall of 717 meters and a depth of 17.5 m houses seven ship-to-shore cranes (capable of serving 24,000+ TEU carriers) plus 20 automated gantries in the yard (7,608 container storage bays arranged in 14 stacks, and four stacks designated for empty container storage).

Altogether, the now 124-ha-big, 2.1-km-quay wall Baltic Hub can take care of 4.5 million TEUs/year.

Budimex, the DEME Group, and Haskoning were involved in the construction works, while ZPMC, Künz, and ABB supplied the handling equipment and software for operating it.
