Zmiana zaplecza i położenia transportowego Gdańska i Gdyni
Abstract
In a new geopolitical situation in Central Europe after World War II there
was a visible change in the geopolitical position of Gdańsk and Gdynia. The role
and meaning of these cities had already changed before, along with the change in
geopolitical conditions. After World War II there were also meaningful changes in
the range of the hinterland for the both ports. Changes of Poland's borders, a 'shift'
to the west, annexation of a part of Eastern Prussia, Western Pomerania with
Szczecin (Stettin) and Silesia, dramatically changed the transit directions across
Poland. In the geopolitically changed situation and location of the ports in Gdańsk
and Gdynia whose main advantage in acquisition of freights was their geographical
location, due to a rapid pace of political processes in Europe and the economic crisis
of the late 1980s, there were several changes in the directional and commodity
structure of freights. The change in the geopolitical location and the transit hinterlands
is even of a greater meaning after Poland's accession to NATO, as a navy
base of the North Atlantic Treaty is to be created in the military port in Gdynia. It
may cause not only a meaningful increase in port transhipments but also growth of
infrastructure in the whole region of the Bay of Gdańsk, necessary for the military
base. It will be associated with a new position of Gdynia whose authorities will
have to face new tasks and problems.
