POLISH OCEAN LINES INC.

About Us

The Polish Ocean Lines (POL) were established as a shipping enterprise on 2nd January 1951. It took over the traditions of three other shipowners: the Żegluga Polska S.A., Polish- British Shipping Partnership (so-called “Polbryt”) as well or perhaps first of all the Gdynia America Shipping Lines Inc. (GAL). In this sense we can speak about the maintenance of continuity of Polish shipping founded on seafaring traditions of pre-war Republic of Poland. The POL, at the moment of its incorporation, was in possession of 43 vessels of a total cargo carrying capacity of over 200 thousand DWT operating on 13 shipping lines linking Poland with the ports located around the Baltic and the Mediterranean seas, in the Near and the Far East as well as at ports located at the eastern coast of the South America.
