METRANS, a subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), has significantly expanded its Poznań/Gadki terminal in Poland, boosting its capacity and handling capabilities. The project, which included the construction of two new remote-controlled railway gantry cranes and the extension of existing tracks, increased the site's maximum storage capacity from 8,850 TEU to 11,800 TEU.
Annual handling capacity rose by nearly 80 per cent to around 590,000 TEU. METRANS operates a hub terminal in Gądki, a key hub in the company's intermodal network connecting Poland with major European economic centers. CEO Peter Kiss highlighted the project's focus on modernizing the container terminal and enhancing rail infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of these investments in creating reliable intermodal transport and efficient cargo movement.
The expansion project was co-financed by Poland's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO) and forms part of METRANS' extensive European network, which serves 15 countries and transported 1.6 million TEU by 2025.
