– OT Port Gdynia will increase its transhipment potential thanks to the purchase of Shiploader, a machine that enables loading ships 50% faster than the currently used technology. Shiploader is a strategic investment of OT Port Gdynia, thanks to which the annual potential of bulk, general cargo and agro transshipments will increase to 4.7 million tonnes – informed Jerzy Majewski, President, OT PORT GDYNIA.
