Founded as a Swedish naval town in 1680, Karlskrona (SE KAA) earns its modern freight role almost entirely from the ferry link Stena Line has run to Gdynia in Poland since 1995. Three ships now serve the route, including the E-Flexer newbuilds Stena Estelle and Stena Ebba, each carrying up to 1,200 passengers and 200 freight units across eighteen weekly departures per direction. As co-owner of the port, Stena Line has added smart-gate systems and drop-and-collect handling tailored to unaccompanied trailers. Containers move only as a pre-booked Lo/Lo service on the Polish side, so Karlskrona is best understood as a RoRo and passenger gateway rather than a box terminal. Inland access runs via the E22 highway and a rail connection into the southern Swedish network. Shippers needing container capacity should route through Gothenburg, while Karlshamn offers further Baltic RoRo options nearby.
