Already in its second quarter the Port project managed to achieve substantial results. Our project manager has managed to visit several terminals in Poland, despite the extraordinary situation in Polish ports following to the ongoing war. During these visits, we found roughly 10 tons of phosphoric rock spread on the ground and in open piles. Through bringing awareness about the potential consequences of this substance ending up in the sea the dialogue resulted in cleaning these areas – a great win for the Baltic Sea.

In addition two specific projects with two different terminals are being discussed and the project has successfully obtained contacts of interest on the other side of Poland’s coast, more specifically, Szczecin Port. An opportunity that will be unlocked directly after summer vacations.

Race For The Baltic have made several trips over the Baltic Sea to visit the port in Gdansk, Poland. These trips have resulted in developing deeper relationships with numerous terminals that are interested in concrete projects together with Race For The Baltic to reduce their emission of nutrients into the sea. As of today, two specific projects with two different terminals are being discussed.

As the development in Gdansk port is going steady, the project has successfully obtained contacts of interest on the other side of Poland’s coast, more specifically, Szczecin Port. Awareness material and information has been given and currently the steps forward are being planned, starting with traveling and meeting in person after summer vacations to go through what initiatives Race For The Baltic could be an active part of to reduce nutrients ending up in the sea. 

The 7-8th September we are attending the Baltic Port Conference Gdynia, if you are planning to join or want to meet up in the area, please don't hesitate to reach out to julia@raceforthebaltic.com
