The Gdansk–Karlshamn service complements the existing ferry connections operated by Polish ferry companies, including Swinoujscie–Ystad, Swinoujscie–Trelleborg, and Gdansk–Nynäshamn, and forms part of a long-term strategy to develop ferry connections between Poland and Sweden.
 
The route will be operated by two vessels with similar cargo capacity, each capable of carrying approximately 90 freight units. One vessel will be primarily dedicated to cargo transport, while the second will be a RoPax ferry, offering comfortable travel for passengers.
 
Sailings will be operated six times per week, with evening departures from both ports and morning arrivals. The crossing time on the Gdansk–Karlshamn route will be approximately 13 hours.
 
The agreement between Polish Baltic Shipping Co. – Polferries and the Port of Karlshamn has been concluded for a minimum period of three years. The launch of the service is planned for later this year, following the completion of works related to the adaptation of port infrastructure in Karlshamn to accommodate ferries operating on this route.
