Szczecin Port Coal Terminal is a coal terminal in Poland.
Location
Szczecin Port Coal Terminal is located in Wałbrzyskie quay, Szczecin, Poland.
Background
Szczecin Port Coal Terminal is not a specialized coal terminal, but a universal dry bulk terminal at the Szczecin Port that handles coal.
The Port of Szczecin-Swinoujscie began modern operations in the mid-20th century, with the first coal terminal undergoing construction from 1964-1973. The port was originally managed by a state-run entity, but was privatized in the 1990s.[1] The Swinoujscie port has facilities for handling large ocean-going cargo ships, whereas the Szczecin port allows smaller vessels to access the cheapest sea route inland. Travel time between Swinoujscie and Szczecin via water takes approximately 4 hours.[2]
In 2020, the Port of Szczecin-Swinoujscie handled approximately 31 million tonnes of bulk cargo, including 2.5 million tonnes of coal.[3] 2008 and 2011 were the biggest years for coal processing at the Port of Szczecin-Swinoujscie, with 5.5 million tonnes handled in 2008 and 5.4 million tonnes handled in 2011.[4][5]
In 2010, the port handled 7.3 mtpa of coal.[6] The two terminals that handle coal at the port are Szczecin Port Coal Terminal and OT Port Świnoujście Coal Terminal. The capacity for each is estimated as the average of the maximum port throughput.
