Euro Terminal like many Polish companies is preparing to participate in the development of the Polish offshore market. Being part of a strongly developing offshore cluster in the West Pomeranian region, it contributes to the synergy effect of locating investments of entities such as Vestas and Orlen in one area. Together with its neighbors, it creates additional jobs, feeds the state budget and contributes to the region’s attractiveness in Europe.
The 53-acre Euro Terminal is a modern and extensive port infrastructure center. The terminal has two port basins with six berths, three cold storage facilities with a total storage area of 14,000 sqm, an indoor storage area of 27,000 sqm.
