| E-mail: polnocny@portgdansk.pl The Cargo Handling and Storage Enterprise PORT POLNOCNY Co. Ltd [PPS "Port Polnocny"] was established on 7th July 1991, during the restructuring of the Port of Gdansk. The basis for the development of our enterprise was the premises, equipment and staff who, according to the plans created as early as the beginning of 1970s, were the initial point for the launching of a modern (for that time) and autonomous bulk cargo port. Consequently, PPS "Port Polnocny" is the enterprise specialising solely in the handling of bulk cargo, with the help of its own two bases: for liquid fuels and for coal. In its liquid fuel base PPS "Port Polnocny" has two operation units "P" and "O", additionally, the enterprise handles two units belonging to "Naftoport", namely "R" and "T". This base facilitates the handling of ships up to 300,000 DWT, length up to 300 m and draught of 15 m.
