Bursztyn Unity is the second ferry of the POLSCA brand, measuring over 195 meters in length and 32 meters in width. It can carry 400 passengers and over 250 trucks, operated by a crew of 50. The ferry reaches speeds of 19 knots and is powered by four engines that can run on LNG or traditional fuel. Equipped with advanced navigation systems, it features azimuth thrusters and bow thrusters for maneuverability without tugboats.

It sails under the Polish flag, based in Szczecin, and will operate the route between Ystad and Świnoujście in under seven hours, replacing Jantar Unity.
