By Marek Grzybowski
A contract has been signed for the construction and 30-year operation of a refrigerated warehouse at the Port of Gdynia Authority headquarters. The new facility for refrigerated cargo will be built by MEDLOG, a member of the MSC capital group.
The construction of the refrigerated warehouse at the Port of Gdynia will expand the range of containerized cargo that can be handled in Gdynia. Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) is the world’s largest container shipping line, having officially surpassed Maersk in 2022 to take the top spot. As of April 2025, the Geneva-based carrier operates a fleet of over 900 container vessels with a total capacity exceeding 6.4 million TEUs.
The contract was signed today by Piotr Gorzeński and Walery Tankiewicz, President and Vice President of the Port of Gdynia Authority, Maciej Ostrowski, President of MSC Poland and MEDLOG, and Marek Tomczyk, Member of the Management Board of MEDLOG.
The Geneva-based line said iReefer is the most advanced on the market allowing customers to receive “real-time insights into their reefer shipments, including information on position, temperature and humidity” – informed , Lloyd’s List.
“The launch of iReefer marks another milestone in MSC’s digital journey, to develop digital solutions that streamline the shipping process and deliver real-time insights to support supply chain management,” said MSC to Lloyd’s List. iReefer has already been connected to more than 210,000 of MSC’s reefer containers, while technology has also been made compatible with over 500 vessels.
Lloyd’s List; MSC will offer three iReefer packages depending on shipper requirements, including at its most basic level “iReefer Essential”, which is available to customers now, offering insight on current and historic shipments and journey logs. Two premium packages, iReefer Pro and iReefer Ultimate, will go live from March 1. iReefer Ultimate is designed for high-volume shippers and connects directly with their systems via an API.
