Deep-water container terminal in Gdansk with direct Far East shipping routes
Baltic Hub operates Poland's largest container terminal in Gdansk, handling 700+ vessels annually with direct ocean calls from Asia. The tech stack reveals a traditional industrial operations foundation (Siemens PLC, PROFINET, Docker, Kubernetes) undergoing active modernization: they're adopting Terraform and GitOps while building a data lakehouse and automating terminal crane systems — classic infrastructure-as-code maturity moves for a legacy OT-heavy operation. Pain points cluster around manual task elimination and infrastructure stability, suggesting they're moving from reactive to predictive operations.
Baltic Hub is Poland's largest and fastest-growing container terminal, located in the Port of Gdansk on the Baltic Sea. The facility operates two deep-water berths spanning 1.3 km, capable of handling 4 vessels simultaneously and serving over 700 ships per year, including 100 calls from the world's largest container ships. It is the only deep-water terminal in the Baltic Sea region with direct ocean vessel calls from the Far East, positioning it as a gateway for Asian cargo into Central and Eastern Europe. The company is owned by PSA International, Poland's Development Fund, and IFM Global Infrastructure Fund. Current hiring is steady and localized to Poland, spanning operations, engineering, finance, and logistics roles.
Baltic Hub runs Siemens PLC and PROFINET industrial controls for crane and gate automation, paired with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized workloads. They use Zabbix, Grafana, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch for infrastructure monitoring, plus Linux/Windows, Active Directory, and Cisco networking.
Active projects include Kubernetes and Terraform infrastructure modernization, a data lakehouse initiative, terminal operations automation, and informatization of terminal processes — including new OT systems and automated crane deployment.
