About Gdańsk
Gdańsk's deep-water terminal takes the largest container vessels directly, which changed the economics of Central European cargo — it no longer has to route through the North Sea ports and truck east. It serves Poland and increasingly the wider Central European market by road and rail. Baltic winter conditions widen the transit window between roughly December and February without usually stopping sailings.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Gdańsk — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 5–9 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Poland lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
