Yes. Unity Line runs a full daily service in both directions, so a Świnoujście to Trelleborg ferry loading Polish freight north, or a Trelleborg to Świnoujście ferry bringing it back south, follow the same operator, the same roughly seven-hour crossing, and the same booking process.
Unity Line carries around two-thirds of all Baltic freight moving between Poland and Scandinavia, close to 250,000 lorry drivers a year across its Trelleborg and Ystad services combined. This is the established, high-capacity route for Polish freight into southern Sweden, and Move Expert books it through the same platform as your other European crossings.
Unity Line isn't a niche operator here, it's the largest cargo carrier on this specific corridor, which means consistent capacity even during busy periods.
At around 7 hours, this sailing gives your driver a genuine, usable rest window rather than a short interruption to the working day.
Your fare reflects vehicle length and sailing choice, shown as a single, transparent figure.
Poland and Sweden are both EU and Schengen states, so there's no export or import declaration for this crossing..
| Crossing time | Approximately 7 hours, varying between roughly 6 and 8.5 hours depending on the specific sailing |
| Distance | Around 108 nautical miles |
| Frequency | Several daily departures with Unity Line, plus additional sailings from TT-Line |
| Main freight operator | Unity Line, the largest cargo carrier on the Poland-Scandinavia corridor |
| Also serving this route | TT-Line, primarily known for its Trelleborg-Rostock and Trelleborg-Travemünde services, also runs limited sailings here |
| Polish terminal | Świnoujście, Terminal Promowy, ul. Dworcowa 1 |
| Swedish terminal | Trelleborgs Hamn, Norra Nyhamnsgatan 1, the same port used by our Rostock-Trelleborg crossing |
| Customs status | None required, both countries are EU and Schengen members |
Poland's main Baltic freight gateway, located at ul. Dworcowa 1 in Świnoujście, on the German border at the mouth of the Świna river. The terminal handles the bulk of Poland's ferry freight to Scandinavia, served by all three operators running from this port, Unity Line, Polferries and TT-Line.
Southern Sweden's principal freight port, on Norra Nyhamnsgatan, the same terminal complex used for sailings arriving from Rostock. Trucks arriving from Świnoujście join the same road network north toward Malmö and onward into the rest of Sweden.
For road freight specifically, Unity Line is the operator to book, it’s the dominant carrier on this exact route and on the wider Poland-Scandinavia corridor generally.
TT-Line also appears on this pairing, but its main business runs on the Trelleborg-Rostock and Trelleborg-Travemünde routes further west, its Świnoujście service is comparatively limited, with only one or two sailings on most days.
Unity Line runs up to four sailings a day depending on the day of the week, and typically takes bookings up to 10 days ahead of departure.
Enter your truck's length, height and width, plus the number of people travelling.

Your booking reference arrives immediately by email, ready for check-in at Terminal Promowy or Trelleborgs Hamn.
Tip: if your preferred Trelleborg sailing is full, Unity Line will often look for space on its parallel Świnoujście-Ystad service instead, Ystad and Trelleborg sit only around 50 km apart, so either port works for most onward routes.
As with our other Poland-Scandinavia crossing, Poland and Sweden being EU and Schengen members means no customs declaration applies here. What still matters:
Required for the road journey regardless of the ferry leg.
Required as usual for dangerous goods, subject to prior declaration and operator acceptance.
International road haulage within the EU can trigger driver posting declarations through the IMI system, plus standard driving and rest time requirements.
Standard EU vehicle and weight limits apply on both sides of the crossing.
Not as much as you might think. Trelleborg and Ystad sit only around 50 km apart on the Swedish coast, both feed into the same southern Swedish road network, and Unity Line runs both routes as effectively parallel options, if your first-choice sailing is full, it’s common practice to be offered space on the other port instead. Unless your final destination sits specifically closer to one port, either crossing gets your freight into Sweden on a broadly similar schedule.
Fares depend on your vehicle’s length and the sailing you choose. Get an instant quote through our booking tool comparing Unity Line’s available departures.
Booking works the same in either direction: enter your vehicle’s details, get a quote, pay online, and receive your booking reference immediately by email.
Unity Line is the dominant freight carrier on Świnoujście-Trelleborg and the wider Poland-Scandinavia corridor generally. TT-Line also sails this route but focuses primarily on its Trelleborg-Rostock and Trelleborg-Travemünde services, with only limited sailings here.
No. Poland and Sweden are both EU and Schengen member states, so no customs declaration, GMR or ENS filing applies to this crossing.
Around 7 hours, though timing varies by sailing, from roughly 6 hours to 8.5 hours depending on the specific departure and operator.
Unity Line runs up to four sailings a day depending on the day of the week, with additional limited sailings from TT-Line.
Either usually works. The two Swedish ports sit around 50 km apart, and Unity Line runs both as parallel options, often reallocating bookings between them when one sailing is full.
It can. International road haulage between EU member states may trigger driver posting declarations through the IMI system, along with standard driving and rest time rules, separate from the ferry crossing itself.
It can, given the roughly 7 hour duration, provided the usual conditions around bunk access and freedom from duties are met under your fleet’s applicable rules.
Unity Line accepts bookings up to 10 days ahead, and booking a few days in advance is sensible given this corridor’s consistently high freight volumes.
Yes, subject to prior declaration and acceptance by the operator, in line with standard ADR requirements.
It’s one of two run by Unity Line, alongside Świnoujście-Ystad, together handling around two-thirds of all Baltic freight moving between Poland and Scandinavia.
Yes. Transport companies running this lane regularly can arrange consolidated invoicing and negotiated rates through our freight team.
Standard accompanied trucks and trailers are accepted as a matter of course; oversized or high-and-heavy loads should be confirmed with the operator or our freight team before booki
Yes, Unity Line accepts unaccompanied trailers alongside accompanied trucks on this route.
Occasionally in winter, given Baltic conditions over this longer crossing, though the scale of Unity Line’s fleet generally limits significant disruption.
