Port of Gdansk welcomes Norwegian business delegation

On 4 April 2014, a large delegation from Rogaland Logistics Association, an association of representatives and customers of the North Sea Port of Risavika, arrived in Gdansk, the Port of Gdansk Authority's press release said.

With its strategic location, namely close proximity to the Old Continent and a sea route to the Baltic Sea, the port has become an intermodal hub for Norway.

The visitors to Gdansk sought opportunities for the ports to cooperate. They were interested in, e.g. the increase in the port handling operations, organisation of land and sea transport in Poland, directions for the development of port services, investment prospects and cooperation between the Port and the City of Gdansk.

The Port of Gdansk Authority Spolka Akcyjna (Joint Stock Company) with its registered office in Gdansk, is a commercial partnership established in 1998 and operates based on the provisions of the Act on Seaports and Harbours and the Code of Commercial Companies. In that capacity, the Company follows the tradition of all its predecessor entities that used to manage the port grounds in Gdansk. The owners of the managing entity are: the State Treasury, the Municipality of Gdansk and entitled employees. The Port of Gdansk Authority SA is a sole entity managing the port in Gdansk - the Port of primary importance to the national economy. This confirms the strong position of the Port and the continuation of stable and coherent government policy towards the major ports in Poland.
