The ceremonial presentation and christening of the “Jantar Unity” – the most modern ferry built entirely in Polish shipyards – took place in Szczecin. The vessel will begin regular sailings from Świnoujście to Trelleborg, Sweden, on January 20, 2026. In the future, the Jantar Unity will sail to Ystad. Construction of another ro-pax vessel for POLSCA is underway at the Remontowa shipyard in Gdańsk. The vessel is expected to join the POLSCA fleet in 2026.

The Jantar Unity Ro-Pax was built by Remontowa Shiprepair Yard for the Polish shipowner POLSCA Baltic Ferries, a joint venture of Polish shipowners Unity Line and Polsteam (PŻM).

The Ro-Pax vessel, built by the Remontowa Shiprepair Yard, features an eco-friendly propulsion system. Four engines are powered by an LNG (liquefied natural gas) system. The ferry’s propulsion is supported by a hybrid system powered by a battery system. Propulsion is provided by two azimuth thrusters at the stern. Mooring and maneuvering in port are aided by two bow thrusters.

The contract for the Ro-Pax vessel’s construction was signed in November 2021. The vessel was officially handed over to operator Unity Line on December 17, 2025.  Technical data of the ferry: Length: 195.6 m, Width: 32.2 m, Load line: 4100 m, Number of passengers: 400 people, Crew: 50 people, Operating speed: 19 knots.
