Cargo information and documents

We would like to inform that from Wednesday, 29th of March Port of Ystad will change system at the gate for the trucks and trailers entrance.

For the moment the all drivers need to press their ticket number in the box outside and from 29th of March barcodes printed on our ticket start to be use. After scanning of this barcode the gate opens automatically. Similar to the ones that are used in port of Trelleborg. Below you can find a ticket example.

The drivers picking up or dropping off trailers don´t have to wait in the same line as the trucks to go inside the port anymore. There is a separate line for the trailers from 29th of March. This is to the left in the check in area. There will be signs were to drive. In this box it is still the same system. They use the Tin numbers like before.

We hope this will be easier and faster for the drivers to enter the port.

Please inform your drivers about this change. We will inform them when they get the ticket as well.

We would like to inform you that, effective 1 December 2026, the Ferry Terminal in Świnoujście will introduce changes to the rules governing charges for trailer parking within the port facility. The free parking period will be 12 hours.

This measure is intended to improve the turnover of the maneuvering and storage area, reduce congestion during peak transport periods, and increase the efficiency of the use of available terminal space.

Trailers entering the port area before 1 December 2026 will remain subject to the existing rules, i.e. a 24-hour free parking period.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please be informed that the following rules apply to trailer parking fees at the Port of Karlshamn:

• The first 3 days of parking are free of charge.
• From the 4th day a fee of SEK 224 per each commenced day will apply.

Any additional parking fees charged to POLSCA S.A. by the port will be re-invoiced to our customers. The re-invoices issued by POLSCA S.A. will reflect the terms stated on the original invoice received, i.e. in the same currency (SEK) and at the same rate, without any changes to the amount charged by the port.

Please take the above rules into account when planning trailer parking at the Port of Karlshamn.
