Economic and political change, which took place in the former European "socialist bloc" countries in the 1990s deeply influences the economy of Poland in addition to its economic relations with other countries. However Poland, as a relatively large market mostly because of its geographical position in central Europe and its position on the North-South Route, has been highly affected by the results of these changes, in particular. Amongst these changes, many of the results have been the determinants of the present and future condition of the Polish ferry shipping industry. The industry has been mostly concerned with the enterprises in the sector, which have had to respond to new economic, legal and financial conditions. In parallel to this aspect, the potential of the new economic and political situation in the Baltic Sea region together with the integration of Baltic Europe leading to interesting possibilities of ferry shipping links between the Scandinavian countries and Central and Eastern Europe have required Polish ferry operators to consider the effects. Consequently, this paper concentrates upon the development of the Polish ferry shipping industry in the period of economic and political changes after the 1990s.

The Baltic Sea is one of the worlds higher density areas of maritime transport which plays an important role in the infrastructure necessary for trades and passenger transport in the area. Thus, intensive trades between theses states and with other parts of the world take place resulting from economic power of the surrounding states. Until the political changes at the end of the 1980s, divisions were visible in the development of Baltic ferry transport which corresponded to the differences between the socialist states and the free market systems of Northern Europe. Today's Baltic region is developing into an independent economic center having a highly distinctive transport system as a basis for economic, cultural and tourist exchange in the area. A dense network of ferry and ro-ro connections, especially in a north-south direction, offer safe and reliable connections across the Baltic and guarantees the inclusion of northern European and increasing eastern European economies in the Europe-wide production and distribution systems. Consequently, this paper concentrates upon the changing environment in the Baltic Sea ferry and ro-ro market and is structured on a regional basis, beginning with services in the South-West Baltic.
