Polish fuel infrastructure operator PERN has commissioned a new rail terminal at Fuel Depot No. 2 in Nowa Wieś Wielka near Bydgoszcz, doubling the facility’s rail handling capacity and strengthening fuel logistics in northern Poland.
The new installation enables simultaneous unloading of up to 36 rail tank wagons through 42 unloading stations equipped with three independent fuel connections each.
The project also included construction of approximately 3.5 km of new railway tracks adapted for handling full trainsets. PERN said the investment will reduce wagon turnaround times and increase the volume of fuels that can be redistributed across the country.
The depot serves as one of Poland’s main fuel logistics hubs, receiving imported products from locations including the Port of Gdańsk and the Dębogórze fuel hub before forwarding them through pipelines or rail distribution channels.
According to PERN, the new infrastructure increases operational flexibility and strengthens supply security by expanding rail’s role in the national fuel distribution system.
The facility was designed to support future fuel products, including HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil) biofuels, as part of PERN’s long-term infrastructure strategy focused on resilient and flexible fuel logistics.
