Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk launched a maritime security and infrastructure initiative, dubbed the “Polish Sea” plan, to fortify the Baltic region and transform the nation into a key European trade hub, according to Euractiv.
Announced at a maritime conference on Thursday, the strategy includes NATO-backed patrols, port expansions, and a contentious new container terminal near the German border.
Central to the plan is a pledge to triple annual cargo throughput at Polish ports by 2030, with a focus on Gdańsk, Gdynia, and the disputed Świnoujście terminal. Tusk vowed to push ahead with the Świnoujście project despite local opposition.
No one will block it – rest assured.
Security measures include establishing Baltic Watch, a NATO-coordinated surveillance network to monitor regional waters for hybrid threats, such as sabotage or espionage. This follows multiple incidents attributed to the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions and recent GPS jamming near Poland’s coastline.
