Naftoport in Gdańsk is Poland's seaborne crude gateway. It handled a record 489 tankers and more than 40 million tonnes of crude and fuels in 2024, running close to its technical limit.

It supplies Orlen's refineries and the German refineries at Schwedt and Leuna. A new berth will raise capacity to about 49 million tonnes a year from 2028. We arrange freight, discharge and inspection.
