Swinoujscie Port Ferry Overview
Swinoujscie is a city and seaport on the Baltic Sea and Szczecin Lagoon, located in the extreme north-west of Poland. It is situated mainly on the islands of Usedom and Wolin, but also occupies smaller islands, of which the largest is Karsibór island, once part of Usedom, now separated by a Piast canal dug in the late 19th century to facilitate ship access to Stettin.
The town is located on both banks of the river Świna, and since there is no road connection across it, transport is provided by regular ferries. Under current plans, a tunnel will be built under the river some time before 2013. Swinoujscie has the largest and most modern ferry terminal in Poland, with regular connections to Ystad in Sweden. The ferry terminal is adapted to transshipments in the ro-ro system: passenger cars and trucks, semitrailers and railway cars and service for passenger traffic.
The former town hall houses the Museum of Deep Sea Fishing. Exhibits include the history of sea fishing, sea animals, the town and its region, and old navigation equipment. |
