Intermodal transport is a key element of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), and containers are among the most commonly used cargo units in this system. This study aims to examine the development trends in container handling at intermodal terminals in Poland. The results of the study indicate continued dynamic growth in this sector, supported by European Union policy, infrastructure investments, and the expansion and construction of new container terminals, as well as the activities of logistics companies and intermodal carriers. Projects co-financed by EU funds also play an important role, providing an additional stimulus for development.
