Report Polish Ports in 2020. Summary and Outlook for 2021 Report Polish ports in 2020. Summary and outlook for 2021 March 2021 Port Monitor. Polish ports in 2020. Summary and outlook for 2021 Summary In 2020, Polish ports (Gdańsk, Gdynia, Szczecin-Świnoujście) handled a total of nearly 104 million tons of cargo, which is a 4% decrease compared to 2019. This is the first year-to-year decline in the total turnover since 2011. Reduced turnovers were recorded by the Port of Gdańsk and the Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście, while the Port of Gdynia, despite the pandemic, ended the year with a higher result than in 2019. A large increase in the grain group (+3.7 million tons) - especially noticeable at the Port of Gdynia (+2.2 million tons). A significant decline in turnover in all analysed ports was noted in the case of two cargo groups: coal and coke (-2.9 million tonnes) and fuels (-3.4 million tonnes). Container handling in 2020 decreased (-4.3%) for the first time since 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the reduced volumes in the Port of Gdansk (-7.2%). In turn, the Port of Gdynia and the Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście recorded increases. In the containerized cargo segment the biggest drops were noticed in the first half of 2020. The drop was also recorded in the ro-ro cargo segment. The volumes of freight units decreased in each of the Polish port. In all ports ro-ro cargo turnover decline by 5.6% to the level of 779 thousand units. In turn, the service of passenger cars in ferry traffic decreased by a one fourth (to the level of 309 thousand passenger cars). Last year, due to restrictions in international passenger traffic, the number of passengers in regular ferry traffic was reduced significantly. In 2020, all Polish ports handled 1.47 million passengers, which is 23.2% less than in 2019. The negative effects of the pandemic were visible in the cruise ship service segment. Most of the shipowners cancelled the sailings and, as a result, 6 out of 84 planned cruise ship’s calls took place in the Port of Gdańsk, and in Gdynia, only one out of 50 planned. At this stage, it is difficult to forecast what the entire year 2021 may look like for port operations, because this year will also be marked by a pandemic. However, the level of the cargo handling at the beginning of the year allows for optimistic predictions. In January this year all Polish ports recorded growths in cargo volumes compared to January 2020 and these were quite significant increases (+ 13.6% Port of Gdynia, + 8.8% Port of Gdańsk and +7.7 % in Ports of Szczecin- Świnoujście). 2 Port Monitor. Polish ports in 2020. Summary and outlook for 2021 Operational results of the Polish seaports in 2020 In 2020 Polish ports handled a total of 103.8 million tonnes of cargo, which is a decline of 4% compared to 2019. The Port of Gdańsk (-7.9%) and the Ports of Szczecin-Świnoujście (-3.1%) recorded a decrease in turnovers (Table 1). In turn, in the Port of Gdynia, despite the pandemic, the result was higher than the record volume of 2019 (+ 2.9%) – the greatest dynamics was noticed in cereal volumes (+ 68%). There was also an increase in the handling of containerized cargo (+ 0.9%). Table 1.

Polish ports in 2020. Summary and outlook for 2021 Handling structure in 2020 Last year, general cargo accounted for 51% of total cargo handled in Polish ports. The coal & coke and fuel groups had a smaller share in the overall product structure (the share of each group decreased by 2 pp compared to 2019). There was also a change in the handling of cereals in Polish ports - volumes increased by 3.7 million tonnes, which contributed to an increase in the share of cereals in the total turnover (from 5% in 2019 to 8% in 2020) - Figure 2.

In recent years, the Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście has been characterized by high results of reloading of coal and ores. But for about 3 years, the import of ores by sea has significantly weakened due to the decline in production in Polish, Czech and Slovak ironworks. It resulted in a reduction of turnover by a one fourth in this cargo group (-588 thousand tonnes compared to 2019). In the fuel group, both the Port of Gdańsk and the Port of Gdynia recorded declines, by 21.7% and 4.3%, respectively. In turn, the Port of Szczecin-Świnoujście noticed increase in fuels handlings by 12% (of which, LNG turnover increased by 10.3%). 4 Port Monitor. Polish ports in 2020.

The largest increase was recorded at the Port of Gdynia (+2.2 million tonnes compared to 2019, + 68.6%). The other ports also increased – Port of Gdańsk handled almost 0.9 million tonnes more, and in the Ports of Szczecin-Świnoujście about 0.6 million tonnes more. Containers Last year, Polish ports handled over 130 thousand. TEUs less (-4.3%) than in 2019. The total result for Polish ports was mostly affected by the decline at the Port of Gdańsk. The 7.2% decrease at the Port of Gdańsk was mainly due to the drops in transhipments, while the volumes of cargo to/from the Polish market increased. At the same time, the port of Szczecin-Świnoujście recorded a double-digit increase (+14% compared to 2019). In turn, the Port of Gdynia recorded a slight (almost 1%) increase. The Port of Gdynia was one of the few ports among the Baltic largest container ports, where a positive change in the container volumes was recorded. Despite the pandemic, 2020 turned out to be particularly good for the Gdynia Container Terminal (GCT), which last year achieved a record result - 401,546 TEUs. Table 3.

  • Port of Gdańsk and Port of Gdynia's Exposure to Threats Resulting From
    Journal of Polish Safety and Reliability Association Summer Safety and Reliability Seminars, Volume 7, Number 1, 2016 Cieślikiewicz Witold Dudkowska Aleksandra Gic-Grusza Gabriela Institute of Oceanography, University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland Port of Gdańsk and Port of Gdynia’s exposure to threats resulting from storm extremes Keywords critical infrastructure, Port of Gdynia, Port of Gdańsk, storm extremes, Gulf of Gdańsk hydrodynamics Abstract This study is intended to make a first estimate of the exposure of the two Polish largest ports – Gdańsk and Gdynia, localized in the Gulf of Gdańsk – to threats from storm extremes. These ports are elements of the Polish critical infrastructure and presented analysis is one of the tasks related to critical infrastructure protection. Hypothetical extreme meteorological conditions have been defined based on 138-year NOAA data and assumed wave fields for those conditions have been generated. Using HIPOCAS project database the 21 extreme historical storms over the period 1958–2001 were selected to simulate realistic conditions in the vicinity of the ports. The highest significant wave height was found to be nearly 4 m in the vicinity of Port of Gdańsk and nearly 2 m in the vicinity of Port of Gdynia. A future intensification of these wave conditions should be considered due to the climate change and sea level rise. 1. Introduction According to the Polish Act of April 26th, 2007 on crisis management, sea ports, which are logistic centers of international nature, are part of the critical infrastructure of the country. Characteristics of threats to ports and the assessment of the risk of their occurrence is one of the elements of the critical infrastructure protection plans.

  • Spreading of Brine in the Puck Bay in View of In-Situ Measurements
    E3S Web of Conferences 54, 00029 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20185400029 SWIM 2018 Spreading of brine in the Puck Bay in view of in-situ measurements Małgorzata Robakiewicz Department of Coastal Engineering and Dynamics, Institute of Hydro-Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences, Gdańsk, Poland. ABSTRACT Since autumn of 2010 in the north-eastern part of Poland underground gas stores are under construction by diluting salt deposits. A by-product of the technology applied is brine, which is discharged into the coastal waters of the Puck Bay (south Baltic Sea). In the pre- investment study a theoretical analysis of the mixing conditions in the near-field and far- field of the proposed installation was conducted. An extensive monitoring programme carried out since 2010 shows a good mixing of brine with the surrounding waters. Excess salinity due to the continuous discharge of brine estimated using data measured in situ is generally lower than permitted, i.e. not exceeding 0.5 psu in the near-field of installation. INTRODUCTION Increasing demands for gas storage capacity encouraged Polish Gas and Oil Company (PGNiG) to make use of salt deposits located in the north-eastern part of Poland, in the area bordering on the Puck Bay (the inner part of the Gulf of Gdańsk, South Baltic Sea), to create underground gas stores. A complex of 10 chambers (total volume of 250x106 m3) was designed for construction in Kosakowo, near Gdynia. Owing to local geological conditions, the chambers are created at a depth of 800-1600 m. The construction site (GSS, Figure 1) is located about 4 km away from the Baltic Sea coast.

  • (2) Hel Peninsula, Which Back in the Mid-17Th Ce
    ANTONI F. KOMOROWSKI Gdynia THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE HEL PENINSULA LIGHTHOUSES (2) Hel Peninsula, which back in the mid-17th century was an archipelago of islands, has been an obstacle to navigation posing hazard to sailors and merchants heading for Gdańsk from the west. To enable a safe pass along the peninsula and the nearby shoals, already in the 13th century a white light was lighted at night on its promontory. Later, two lighthouses at Rozewie (Rixhöft) and Hel (Hela) marked the way along the peninsula. Such arrangement of aids to navigation and lights turned out to be insufficient, as there were fairly frequent cases of ships running aground on shoals or sandy beaches before they reached the gulf, in places where the light of the lighthouses was poorly visible or invisible at all. It was only in the 19th century that a decision was made to build another lighthouse in the middle of Hel Peninsula, at a distance of about two-thirds the way from Rozewie to Hel. The Heisternest lighthouse The new masonry lighthouse was built according to a design from 1871. It was named Heisternest, because it stood near a village of that name (later – Jas-tarnia-Bór).1 A light buoy called Fedderort operated there for some time to ensure better marking of the region.2 1 Already in 1526 Hel Peninsula was divided into two parts, with the town of Heisternest being split into Danziger Heisternest (currently Bór), which together with the part of the peninsula up to the promontory belonged to Gdańsk, and Putziger Heisternest, which included the other part of what is today Jastarnia and the peninsula up to its root and belonged to Puck (Putzig).

  • Operational Plan for the Dislocation of the 1St and 2Nd Polish Armies in Case of War Operations in 1951
    Parallel History Project on NATO and the Warsaw Pact (PHP) May 2000 Taking Lyon on the Ninth Day? www.isn.ethz.ch/php Edited by Vojtech Mastny, Petr Luňák, Anna Locher, and Christian Nuenlist ________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Longitudinal seal:] General Staff . A special 9.10. … single copy 0003893…. -/14 Operational Plan for the Dislocation of the 1st and 2nd Polish Armies in Case of War Operations in 1951 I. The general concept 1. Evaluation of the operational-strategic situation of Poland The operational-strategic situation of Poland, taking into consideration the general [geographic] position on the West-European theater, distinguishes itself with the following most important features: a) existence of the German Democratic Republic in the West; b) presence of the Soviet forces in the German Democratic Republic as far as the Elbe river; c) a border with the People's Republic of Czechoslovakia to the South. Conclusion Direct operations of the land forces of potential adversaries from the West and South on the Polish territory in the first days of war are excluded. The only border at which forces of potential adversaries can directly operate is Poland's sea border along the Baltic coast. 2. Assessment of the possibilities of operations of potential adversaries The states neighboring directly with us in the Baltic – Sweden, Norway and Denmark have relatively small quantities of forces for starting operation right on the day of a war breakout. But after initiating mobilization (M-2 – M-4) they may be ready for operations, creating a threat to Poland's seacoast. The real threat to Poland's sea border can have the Anglo-American forces, dislocated now in West Germany and in the West-European countries of the Atlantic bloc (England, France, Belgium, Holland) and also the German army being now created in West Germany, part of which can be transferred to the Scandinavian states to initiate direct operations along the seacoast of Poland.
