Date of publication: 14.01.2025

Naftoport, part of the PERN Group, received 489 tankers in 2024 and transshipped 38.8 million tons of crude oil and liquid fuels. The number of ships serviced increased by 4 percent, and the amount of transshipment was 6 percent higher than the previous year, which was a record year in this respect - the company reported.

"In 2024, Naftoport once again achieved a record operating result," the PERN Group company announced on Monday. As reported, 489 ships were serviced at the local terminal in 2024, 4 percent more than the previous year.

"38.8 million tons of crude oil and fuels were transshipped. These transshipments were 2 million tons, i.e. 6 percent, higher than the previous, also record-breaking, tonnage serviced in 2023." - calculated Naftoport.

In 2023, the company received 471 tankers, transhipping 36.6 million tons of crude oil and liquid fuels during that time.

As it was emphasized at the time, summarizing the company's operating result, the Naftoport terminal operated in 2023 "at maximum speed". "This is the result of the reorientation of the directions of raw material and fuel supplies to Poland caused by the war in Ukraine and the departure from Russian hydrocarbons, which is a pan-European phenomenon," PERN explained at the time.

At the beginning of 2024, PERN informed about the commenced works aimed at expanding the terminal with another station to service the largest tankers and thus strengthening Poland's energy security.

PERN holds 66.67% of shares in Naftoport, which carries out transshipment of crude oil and petroleum products in the Port of Gdańsk.

"The company is an important element of the logistics of oil supplies for Polish and German refineries and its transit, as well as land-sea transshipment of petroleum products," PERN emphasizes. It also points out that Naftoport is one of the largest oil transshipment terminals in the Baltic Sea.

PERN, headquartered in Płock, is a strategic entity for Poland's energy security, managing critical infrastructure, responding for pumping crude oil through pipelines in Poland to the Orlen Group refineries in Płock and Gdańsk, as well as to two refineries in Germany - Schwedt and Leuna, and for storing both raw materials and liquid fuels in its bases in the country.

In Poland, the company has 19 fuel bases with a total capacity of around 2.7 million cubic meters, and four crude oil bases, including one in Gdańsk, with a total capacity of over 4.2 million cubic meters.
