Bursztyn Unity is a ropax ferry operating for POLSCA Baltic Ferries on the Świnoujście - Ystad route. She is the first Polish-flagged maritime ferry since Pomerania switched flag to Bahama in 2004.

Namesake

Bursztyn means amber in Polish. The same naming convention is used in relation to Bursztyn Unity's sisters, Jantar Unity and Amber Unity ("jantar" pol. lit. amber). The "Unity" part refers to POLSCA's predecessor Unity Line, for which the ship was originally ordered.

Characteristics

Bursztyn Unity is a LNG/diesel-powered ship, equipped with four Wärtsilä 31DF engines, two bow azipods, and two electric stern thrusters, which increase port maneuverability. She can capacitate 400 passengers and 4,100 lane meters of freight.

History

Bursztyn Unity was christened in Szczecin on Independence Day 2026. Szczecin is also her port of registry. She is the second of three sister-ships.
