In brief

• The T5 offshore installation terminal, worth nearly PLN 1.2 billion, has been opened at the Port of Gdańsk; PLN 700 million of that came from the KPO.
• The terminal is to serve the construction of offshore wind farms, and the nearest project is Baltica 2.
• First power from Baltica 2 is to flow in the first half of 2027, and the farm is to supply 2.5 million households.

Terminal worth nearly PLN 1.2 billion

The T5 offshore installation terminal has officially been opened at the Port of Gdańsk (KPO dla naszej niezależności energetycznej. Terminal T5 w Porcie Gdańskim otwarty – Portal Funduszy Europejskich) (Otwarto nowy terminal instalacyjny offshore w Porcie Gdańsk – Ministerstwo Infrastruktury) (Terminal T5 gotowy. Z Gdańska wypłyną statki budujące morskie farmy wiatrowe – Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Pomorskiego). The ceremony on 30 October 2026 was led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Arkadiusz Marchewka was also present (Więcej Polski, więcej mocy. Terminal T5 oficjalnie oddany do użytku – Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów). The investment cost nearly PLN 1.2 billion, of which PLN 700 million came from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO). Construction lasted about three years, and the port's land area was enlarged by more than 21 hectares, roughly the area of 30 football pitches (Port dla gigantów.

What will sail from Gdańsk

Vessels serving the construction of offshore wind farms are to sail from the terminal. The nearest task is the Baltica 2 farm. The prime minister announced that first power from it is to flow in the first half of 2027. The farm is ultimately meant to supply 2.5 million households. The terminal is also to serve PGE and other investors. According to "Rzeczpospolita", it is the second facility of this type in the country (Nowy kawałek Polski. Morskie farmy wiatrowe zyskają – Rzeczpospolita).

Components until now via Germany and Denmark

Components for Polish offshore wind projects have until now been transported through ports in Germany and Denmark (Polska buduje własną potęgę energetyczną na Bałtyku – Rzeczpospolita). The new terminal is to change this. The Gdańsk location is expected to attract Polish subcontractors for turbine assembly. The Gdańsk Baltic Hub handled over 2.7 million TEU in 2025, which, according to port data, places it first among Baltic ports.

Significance for transport and logistics

The terminal has been designed to handle the largest components of offshore wind farms currently being produced in Europe. For transport, logistics and assembly companies, this means a new place for transshipping heavy elements without sending them through foreign ports.
