Company description Port of Gdynia Authority SA (PGA SA) is a public service company established on 30 November 1999 by the representatives of the Municipality of Gdynia and the State Treasury and has been serving as a managing body of the port since that moment. It directly manages the areas where the operating companies in which a PGA SA holds shares and other independent entities carry out handling and storage operations. The company carries out the objectives set out in the Act on ports and harbours, such as, inter alia, management of the property and port infrastructure, forecasting and planning the port development and the maintenance and expansion of the port infrastructure, while ensuring adequate standards of safety of persons and cargo handling as well as keeping the environmental standards. Carrying out the privatization processes under the Act on ports and harbours the PGA SA sells shares of the subsidiaries (while keeping the property used by the companies) in order to completely separate the spheres of management and operation, as well as for the increase of the capital strength and the competitiveness of the port operating sector. The aim of these actions is to maintain a stable and strong position of the Port of Gdynia in the Baltic region and within the European North-South transport corridor.

LNG Competence description Port of Gdynia Authority SA is currently working on a project titled: "The use of LNG at the Port of Gdynia".

Because of the development of LNG technology in Poland and globally, the expected number of ships powered by this fuel will increase. The use of LNG has many benefits; particular attention should be paid to lower emissions compared to the fuels currently used in maritime transport. At present, we can see that shipowners are interested in utilising liquefied natural gas. PGA SA is in during talks with the partners interested in the implementation of the services of LNG bunkering at the Port of Gdynia from a tank truck. Works on safety issues and preparation of regulations to ensure the process safety are currently in progress. Bunkering of LNG vessels will only be possible when the Maritime Office in Gdynia issues relevant regulations.
