Samskip, a\u00a0global logistics company headquarted in Rotterdam, is opening its operations office in Gdansk. The new branch will perform as a\u00a0one-stop-shop, providing services in sea freight management, customs clearance, ship agency, coldstore storage and other logistics advisory. Fish is going to be the key object of operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been a\u00a0couple of reasons why Gdansk was chosen as the best location for the project.<\/p>\n

The city enjoys a\u00a0state-of-the art coldstore where fish is unloaded directly from the ships arriving from Iceland, Norway and Faroe Islands, and other very modern coldstores located just in proximity to deep-sea container terminal. \u00a0Port of Gdansk has a\u00a0direct access to many key seaports around the world , which position the area well to become an entry point for imports from key Asian and US origins in the seafood sector. \u00a0Volumes which are bound for Poland, but also the CEE countries like Belarus and Ukraine, as the ambition is to handle shipments not only destination for Polish market but abroad as well. \u00a0\u00a0Poland is also a\u00a0very important point on global seafood processing map, with thousands of people employed –<\/em>\u00a0explains Filip Chaj\u0119cki, Managing Director of Samskip\u2019s Gdansk Office.<\/p>\n

At the beginning, Samskip\u2019s Gdansk branch will employ a\u00a0small group of dedicated experts to make foundations for further growth.<\/p>\n

We will be looking for versatile, experienced professionals preferably in the area of reefer logistics, who will be familiar with the business specifics and excited to develop Gdansk as a\u00a0center of seafood gravity in CEE<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 says Filip Chaj\u0119cki.\u00a0We want to develop organization in Poland step-by-step, as in line with agreed volumes.\u00a0 Imports of the fish from the Scandinavia has traditionally been strong but the problem was with imported volumes from the farther origins, like China or Vietnam.\u00a0 These volumes have traditionally been routed via German ports due to complexity of customs procedures creating extra costs in supply chains.\u00a0 But we see this trend changing with more and more shippers re-routing their cargo to Polish ports. \u00a0\u00a0The importance of seafood logistics based on Polish ports will be growing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our region is one of the key locations for fish processing worldwide. There is around 14 thousand people working in the sector and almost 30 thousand if we add the fishing fleet. Thanks to EU funds, most of the fish processing facilities have been modernized so that they now deliver the highest quality products that sell well in Western Europe. And yes, it\u2019s salmon that makes up over 50% of Polish fish exports – the salmon that we have to import as the raw material. As a\u00a0result there is a\u00a0huge space for development for such companies as Samskip \u2013<\/em>\u00a0says Mikolaj Trunin, Project Manager at Invest in Pomerania.<\/p>\n

Polish economy is growing rapidly and so is the fish processing sector in Poland, which plays a\u00a0vital role on the global seafood map. Rotterdam has always been a\u00a0traditional center of gravity for fish coming from the North Sea, Iceland and Norway but we are confident Gdansk can play an important role as well having the strong hinterland of processing plants<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 sums up Filip Chaj\u0119cki.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
