In 2023, Polish seaports reduced the transshipment of iron ore and scrap by 18.5% compared to 2022, to 2.49 million tons. This is evidenced by the data of the Statistical Service of Poland.
The transshipment of coal and coke amounted to 19.9 million tons for the year, which is 11.3% less than in 2022.
The total volume of cargo transshipment in 2023 in the ports of Poland amounted to 135.95 million tons, which is 14.3% more than in 2022:
Liquid bulk cargo was handled at 53.1 million tons (+36.7% y/y), bulk cargo – 41.9 million tons (+0.5% y/y), containers – 26.85 million tons (+18% y/y), ro-ro – 8.7 million tons (-10.1% y/y), and other general cargo – 5.4 million tons (-10.2% y/y).

As GMK Center reported earlier, rail transportation in Poland in 2023 decreased by 3.2% compared to 2022 to 230 million tons. Кail transportation last year amounted to 570.3 million tons, down 2.2% compared to 2022, which is the lowest result in the last three years.
