New pier in Miedzyzdroje

On March 19, 2005 a new pier was inaugurated. A longer phase of planning launched in 2003 to extend the pier from 100 to 400 meters began.

The construction was realized by the "Skanska" company. The contractor was the company "Adler-Schiffe Polska Sp.zo.o.", who received the right of use for the next 40 years as a result of its investment.

Already in the 90s piers were build on the neighbor-island Usedom in Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin. These piers led to regular connections between the German seaside resorts and the Polish harbour. The extension of the pier at Miedzyzdroje permits the usability for vessels so that in the future a direct connection between the German "Kaiserbäder" and the upcoming health resort Miedzyzdroje will be installed.

In the meantime the connection between Poland and Germany will take place by the Swinoujœcie Harbor only. It is assumed that clearance can be opened in 2006, so that the planned direct connection between Germany and Poland can be opened up definitively. The journey will be reduced to 60 minutes to the comfort of Polish and German tourists.

Widening of the routes, e.g. to Bornholm, are aimed at for the next years, likewise a connection from the island Rügen over Usedom to Miedzyzdroje. On both sides of the border there will be offerings to the tourist which include beside the journey for the vessel, the visit of showplaces of the respective health resort.
