Polish fertilizer and chemicals group Grupa Azoty SA’s port of Police project has secured nearly €1.74 million (approximately $1.69 million at current exchange rates) in European Union (EU) funding for the project’s study phase, the group reported on Oct. 11.
The planned project is aimed at improving the port’s accessibility from the shore and sea and increasing its handling capacity, and will increase the potential of Grupa Azoty, the group said. Police is Poland’s fourth largest port.
The project includes a planned increase in the overall length (LOA) of the port’s heavy cargo universal wharf by 300 meters, to reach a LOA of 715 meters. It also includes the construction of a rail link between Police seaport and a new rail line (no. 437) currently under construction.
The project was selected for EU funding under the “Connecting Europe Facility” (CEF) in the 2021-2027 financial framework.
