HERE IT IS!
After several phone calls to Gdynia harbour i managed to make an appointment with them on monday, may, 18th, to open the container together.
I booked bed and breakfast in Gdansk, i've borrowed GPS to not get lost, i took all the paperwork... And I set off. In the evening of sunday of course i couldn't sleep. I got up at 6 and after light breakfast i headed to Gdynia harbour. I was there at 7.40. I went first to spedition agency. They billed me the maximal harbour fees even before opening the container - i think due to this f*** crisis.
We went to the harbour storage area...
...and opened the container.
After that i spent 6 more hours filling all the paperwork needed in Customs Office. Then - free to go! I made an appointment with my car club friend who has a suitable truck for such occasion. He arrived, we went to harbour storage again (forklift operator got a little money to drop Buick on my friends car) and got out of there finally with marvellous Buick on top. We loaded mine (borrowed) Toyota Yaris on the trailer (i told people it will give to Buick its engine and trans) and headed home. Evening left no memories - i literally touched the bed and fell asleep. Happy of course :)
Summary - i am satisfied. The car is rebuild worthy. It will be good! :)
