We are happy to inform that Baltic Hub, one of the region’s largest and most strategically vital container terminals, located in Gdańsk, Poland, decided to join the Baltic Ports Organization earlier last month. This development represents a major step forward for collaborative industry dialogue in the region, particularly as ports navigate increasingly complex regulatory, environmental, and logistical shifts.

Representatives from Baltic Hub have expressed strong support for this collaborative framework, highlighting the importance of active participation in the regional maritime dialogue. Speaking on the new partnership, Jan Pollak, CFO, Baltic Hub, stated: “Joining the Baltic Ports Organization is a natural step for Baltic Hub in further strengthening cooperation with ports and maritime industry partners across the Baltic Sea region. As the largest container terminal in the Baltic Sea, we want to actively participate in the dialogue on the future of the port sector, sustainable development, and the competitiveness of maritime transport in our region.”

Jan noted that the decision also reflects an appreciation for the organization’s long-standing impact on regional maritime policy and network building: “For more than three decades, the Baltic Ports Organization has supported cooperation between Baltic ports, represented their interests before European and international institutions, and created a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience. We are pleased that Baltic Hub is joining an organization that plays an important role in integrating the port community across the Baltic Sea region.”

Both parties agree this cooperation will provide an opportunity to strengthen relationships, share Baltic Hub’s perspective, and work together towards the further development of a modern, responsible, and competitive port sector.

Commenting on the new membership and its broader implications for regional port cooperation, Bogdan Ołdakowski, SG, BPO, emphasized the strategic value of expanding the network and integrating key regional players into the platform: “On behalf of the Baltic Ports Organization, I am pleased to formally welcome Baltic Hub as our newest member. We look forward to a close and constructive cooperation with the management of Baltic Hub, as we align our efforts toward shared objectives and the continued development of our institutional network.”

Highlighting the current challenges facing the industry, Bogdan added: “In the current maritime environment, addressing complex logistical and environmental challenges requires a unified approach. This membership highlights the fundamental importance of cooperation and active engagement as key drivers for the development of the port sector. By combining our insights and resources, we enhance our collective capability to foster innovation, advance sustainable practices, and optimize supply chain efficiency.”
