   Maersk Line will from Dec. 1 transfer port operations in Poland from Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia to the country’s newest deep-water container terminal, DCT Gdansk.
   'After many years of good cooperation with BCT Gdynia, the time has come to explore new possibilities with DCT Gdansk, allowing Maersk Line to continue to offer its customers a reliable product while maintaining a high level of efficiency and cost effectiveness,” the Danish mega-carrier said in a statement.
   'By moving to DCT we have secured the possibility for our customers to continue to grow along with Maersk Line in Poland. Through an open dialogue we will continue to engage our customers in determining the optimal terms of our services in order to cater for our future growth and cooperation.'
   Peter Hildebrandt Nielsen, managing director of Maersk's eastern and central Europe cluster, added: 'With its ice-free open sea access, modern equipment and large rail terminal we are confident that DCT will provide us with high quality port operations and will actively contribute to further improving our product towards the Polish market.'
   DCT said Maersk's arrival would trigger further new investment in handling equipment, adding that the decision has been made to upgrade the rail terminal to four tracks served by rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs).
