Jan Van Mossevelde will take over as CEO of Baltic Hub from January 1, 2025. He will replace Charles Baker, the company announced on Thursday.

As Baltic Hub, a Polish container terminal operator and member of the PSA Group operating in the Port of Gdańsk, announced, Jan Van Mossevelde will become the new CEO. He will take over the position from January 1, 2025.

As the company emphasizes, the future CEO is an experienced professional in the industry. He currently holds a similar position at PSA Halifax in Canada and will bring over 38 years of experience in the ports and logistics sector to his new position. He has held senior commercial, operational and management positions in PSA business units in Belgium, Italy and Canada. As CEO of Baltic Hub, Van Mossevelde will build on the terminal's strong foundations to drive its further growth and development.

Charles Baker, current CEO of Baltic Hub, will take up a new position as Head of Intermodal Europe at PSA from 1 January 2025. In his new role, he will be responsible for developing and implementing PSA’s intermodal strategy across Europe. During his tenure as CEO of Baltic Hub, he helped deliver significant commercial successes, increased operational capacity and oversaw the construction of the new T3 terminal. Once completed, T3 will increase Baltic Hub’s annual capacity from 3 million to 4.5 million TEU, strengthening its position as one of the largest and most advanced terminals in Europe. Baltic Hub was launched in 2007, initially under the name DCT Gdańsk. It employs over 1.4 thousand people. The total length of the terminal’s two deep-water quays is 1.3 km, which allows it to handle four vessels simultaneously. It has a transshipment capacity of up to 3 million TEU (over 700 vessels) per year, including the world’s largest container ships, up to 400 metres long. In 2023 alone, the terminal handled 2.05 million TEU.

In addition to the construction of the T3 terminal, work on the T5 terminal has been underway since November of this year. It will serve as an installation terminal for offshore wind farms. The investment is to be completed within 1.5 years. After completion of the works, two quays with a total length of 800 meters, as well as a Ro-Ro ramp, will be available for installation vessels and others involved in work at sea. The terminal will also include assembly and storage yards with high load-bearing capacity for wind tower elements. The depth of the quays will reach up to 17.5 meters.
