Port of Szczecin, Commercial port in Szczecin, Poland
The Port of Szczecin is a port facility on the Oder River and several channels with extensive dock areas and loading platforms. The facility processes various types of cargo including containers, bulk materials, and heavy equipment through specialized terminals.
The port came under Soviet control after World War II in 1945, until Poland took full authority in 1955. This handover marked the start of a new phase in port development under Polish management.
