Polska Żegluga Morska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polsteam, formerly known as the Polish Steamship Company (in Polish: Polska Żegluga Morska), is a cargo ship operator based in Szczecin, Poland.
Polsteam was founded in 1951, nationalizing the assets of two Polish pre-WWII marine freight companies (Gdynia-Ameryka Linie Żeglugowe SA and Żegluga Polska), making it the oldest Polish cargo ship operator in existence.
Polsteam is state-owned with around 3,000 employees. It operates a fleet of 75 vessels, mostly dry bulk carriers. Polsteam's particular specialty is the transportation of liquid sulfur.
Polsteam also operates a passenger ferry service between Świnoujście and the Swedish ports of Ystad and Trelleborg via its subsidiary Unity Line.
