How can Poland’s position in the Baltic Sea be strengthened and strategic investments in the maritime economy be developed? These issues were discussed during a meeting of representatives of the Maritime Council with the President of the Republic of Poland at the Belweder. The event was attended by Prof. Iwona Klonowska, Dean of WSB University Warsaw.
The meeting took place on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Maritime Council – a body bringing together experts from the maritime sector and advising public administration on matters related to the development of the maritime economy. During the discussions, the President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, emphasized the importance of dynamic economic and military changes in the Baltic Sea region, indicating that they constitute a significant strategic challenge for Poland.
In this context, key investments of recent years were also recalled, such as the Vistula Spit canal, the deepening of the Świnoujście–Szczecin fairway, and the development of port infrastructure.
The Maritime Council, established in 2016 as an advisory body to the Minister of Infrastructure, brings together specialists representing the maritime economy sector. Its tasks include, among others, issuing opinions on strategic directions for the development of this industry and recommending initiatives supporting its growth.
