National stands hosted representatives of eight countries: Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Russia and Italy. The fair saw the attendance of eleven thousand visitors.

The current business offer of the Port of Gdansk as well as its potential for expansion raised considerable interest among the visitors. The PGA SA participation in the Fair and Exhibition Transport Logistic China 2008 provided an opportunity for the promotion of the port as well Gdansk and Poland. The exhibition stand hosted a large number of talks with the Gdansk port clients and business partners. The event also afforded the opportunity to establish new business contacts that are expected to bring fruit in the future.

Among the visitors to the PGA SA exhibition stand was Grazyna Godlewska-Lysiak - Deputy Consul for Economic Affairs from the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Shanghai. Additionally, the PGA SA representatives attending the fair in China took the opportunity to visit the most recently built container terminal in the Port of Shanghai and to meet with the Port of Shanghai President of the Board, who was invited to pay a visit to the Gdansk port.
