The construction of a new ferry for PŻB (Polferries) is going according to plan. The launching of the hull is planned for spring this year.

Works on the construction of the ferry in the Italian shipyard for Polska Żegluga Bałtycka S.A., the operator of the Polferries brand, are progressing according to schedule. Currently, preparations are underway for the assembly of the chimney part of the unit, ramps and mooring devices. Painting work on the ferry's hull has started. Inside the ship, finishing works are carried out on the passenger and crew decks, including the installation of ventilation systems and bathrooms, and the installation of the unit's cabling. The last works related to its equipment are underway in the engine room.

The launching of the hull will take place in early spring this year, and the planned commissioning is to take place in the second half of 2024.

The vessel will operate on the Świnoujście - Ystad route. The loading line of the new ro-pax ship will be nearly 3 km, which will allow it to transport about 150 trucks and about 200 passenger cars at a time. On board there will be room for almost 1,000 passengers in 216 cabins.

It is not yet known what the name of the new ferry will be. The ship is being built at the Visentini shipyard in Italy.
