The purpose of this paper is to present Poland as an example of country which represent continuous improvement along the seven years of research conducted by World Bank concerning logistic performance and may play an valuable role of logistic hub for northern corridor of the new silk route. Geolocation of Poland helps to play role of distribution hub for future trade and logistic operations conducted through northern corridor of the new silk route. Poland as an UE member develops quickly and builds both line and nod infrastructure along the main TENT corridors. Integration throughout communication system of roads and rail tracks with other European countries is another beneficial factor allowing Poland to offer opportunities as an potential logistical hub of Central European Countries.
