POLSCA Baltic Ferries

POLSCA Baltic Ferries is a Polish maritime ferry operator providing services between Poland and Scandinavia. The company is headquartered in Świnoujście. It was formed in 2026 by merger of Polferries and Unity Line.

History

Operations under the POLSCA brand began on 30 March 2026 after the company POLSCA S.A. was founded by cooperation of 3 major Polish shipping companies - PŻB, PŻM and Euroafrica Shipping Lines, which previously operated ferry services under the Polferries and Unity Line brands respectively. The company took over services on the Świnoujście - Ystad, Świnoujście - Trelleborg, and Gdańsk - Nynashamn routes. On 6 July 2026 POLSCA launched a new route, placing 2 ships on the Gdańsk - Karlshamn line.

Routes

POLSCA Baltic Ferries operate the following routes between Poland and Sweden:

The routes from Świnoujście serve as a connection from western Poland to Scania, Copenhagen, Malmo, and further on to Gothenburg and Oslo; Gdańsk - Karlshamn plays a similar role for central and eastern Poland, also allowing access to Blekinge. Gdańsk - Nynashamn is Poland's main connection with Stockholm. POLSCA are planning to launch a Trelleborg - Rostock route later in the future.

Fleet

As of summer 2026, POLSCA operate 10 ferries on 4 routes. One ship is chartered to Nouris El Bahr Ferries, whilst 2 are on order from Gdańsk Shipyard.
