On September 10-12, Minister Zbigniew Gryglas, together with representatives of the Port of Gdynia Authority SA, took part in a site visit at the Port of Amsterdam and the Port of Oostende.

The increase in the transshipment in seaports is increasingly related to the potential of intermodal transport, which in the upcoming years will become the main branch of freight transport both in Poland and in Europe. The growing volume of transshipments makes it necessary to build logistics facilities and modernize railway lines. The idea of a "dry port" - transshipment terminal, which will be a land gate for the Tri-City ports in Poland - will be very innovative.
