The Swedish ferry line, present in the Polish seaport for 30 years now, has won a new contract that secures its operations at the Port of Gdynia's Public Ferry Terminal in 2026-32.

The deal will see Stena Line implementing several future-proof solutions, including 24/7 freight handling, automated drop & collect systems, and hybrid electrification of shipping.

"The outcome of the tender secures the continuity of our strategic Gdynia-Karlskrona service, which is one of the most important ferry connections in the Baltic Sea. It also holds the status of a Motorway of the Sea within the EU transport network. This decision confirms the shared commitment of Stena Line and the Port of Gdynia to long-term development, investment stability, and sustainable shipping in our region," Marek Kiersnowski, Trade Director for the Stena Line Gdynia-Karlskrona route, commented.

The company's CEO, Niclas Mårtensson, added, "Our uninterrupted presence at the Public Ferry Terminal in Gdynia means further developing its role as a modern, environmentally friendly, and integrated logistics hub. By continuing our cooperation with the Port of Gdynia, we reaffirm our long-term commitment to innovation, sustainability, and providing reliable services for both passengers and freight customers."

Stena Line has been calling to the new Public Ferry Terminal since June 2022. Over the past three decades, the company has served more than 12 million passengers and carried 2.5 million ro-ro cargo units between Gdynia and Karlskrona.
