Ferry timetables for Świnoujście – Ystad and Trelleborg (April 2026): POLSCA, Easter, refit of the m/f Epsilon
Dear Customers and Partners,
The coming month of April brings significant changes to the organisation of ferry services from Świnoujście. Below is a summary of the key information regarding the launch of the new service, traffic arrangements over the festive period, and shipyard work on one of the vessels.
1. A new chapter: Launch of the POLSCA service on the Świnoujście–Ystad route
We would like to inform you that we plan to launch transport services under the new POLSCA brand. From 30 March 2026, the ferries previously operating on the Unity Line and Polferries services to Ystad will run as part of the new carrier’s joint service.
Validity: The new general timetable comes into effect on 30 March 2026 and remains in force (with a break over the Easter period) until further notice.
Vessels: On the route to Ystad, you will encounter the following ferries operating under the POLSCA banner: m/f Galileusz, m/f Varsovia, m/f Polonia, m/f Mazovia and m/f Skania.
2. Easter timetable (Świnoujście ↔ Ystad and Świnoujście ↔ Trelleborg)
In view of the upcoming Easter holidays, a special departure timetable will be in place for both Scandinavian routes from 2 April 2026 to 7 April 2026.
-
Ystad route: The special timetable takes into account technical stopovers during the holiday period. Regular services will resume from 8 April 2026.
-
Trelleborg route: The changes affect the m/f Copernicus, m/f Epsilon and m/f Jantar Unity. The regular timetable will also resume on 8 April 2026.
3. Dry-dock refit of the m/v Epsilon and Special Schedule to Trelleborg
We would like to inform you that the m/f Epsilon ferry will be temporarily taken out of service due to scheduled dockyard maintenance between 7 April 2026 and 30 April 2026.
The final voyage before the vessel is taken out of service will take place on 2 April 2026 (Thursday) – departing from Trelleborg to Świnoujście at 23:55.
The ferry is scheduled to resume service on 3 May 2026, with a departure from Świnoujście at 10.00 pm.
During the period when the vessel is out of service, bookings for lorries and semi-trailers will continue to be accepted, and these vehicles will be transported by the other ferries operating the POLSCA service
We offer a comprehensive booking service for ferry crossings for lorry transport on the Świnoujście–Ystad and Świnoujście–Trelleborg routes. We provide support in selecting the best connections, up-to-date timetables and assistance with transport arrangements through the POLSCA service.
