Baltic

freight and passenger services

Polish Steamship Company provides Baltic freight and passenger services through its subsidiary Unity Line, one of the key ferry operators on the Baltic Sea. These services are operated within a liner shipping system and include regular ferry connections between Poland and Scandinavia, primarily on routes linking the port of Świnoujście with ports in Sweden. Unity Line operates year-round and includes both passenger transport and rolling cargo, including trucks, trailers, road sets and railway wagons.

Baltic freight and passenger services of Polish Steamship Company play an important role in ensuring efficient and reliable transport connections in the Baltic Sea region. Unity Line ferries handle intensive trade flows between Poland and Scandinavian countries, supporting economic exchange, supply chains and passenger mobility. Thanks to fixed sailing schedules and a high frequency of connections, these services constitute an important element of transport infrastructure, especially for the logistics and industrial sectors, where punctuality and regularity are crucial.

Stability and standards

The ferry model provides predictability and better fleet planning. It also supports the development of competencies: passenger service, safety and environmental protection.

Strategic stability through freight and passenger services

For Polish Steamship Company, Baltic freight and passenger services are strategically important due to their stable and predictable nature. Unlike tramp shipping, which is highly dependent on fluctuations in the freight market, ferry operations are based on steady demand and long-term customer relationships. This allows for more effective operational planning and optimal use of the fleet. At the same time, Unity Line’s activities enable PŻM to diversify its sources of revenue and increase the company’s resilience to cyclical changes in the global shipping market.

Ferry operations also help develop competencies in passenger service, liner shipping management, and meeting high standards of safety and environmental protection.

As a result, Baltic freight and passenger services provided by Unity Line constitute an integral part of Polish Steamship Company’s strategy. They combine economic, transport and social functions, strengthen PŻM’s position in the regional market, and provide a stable foundation for growth in a dynamically changing shipping environment.
