The Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports Authority is responsible for two ports that are of primary significance for the Polish economy. The Seaports Authority is a joint-stock company with the majority interest of the State Treasury. It was established under the Ports and Harbors Law of 29 December 1996.

The Company is responsible for managing port property and infrastructure, forecasting and planning the development of the ports, and building, modernizing and maintaining port infrastructure, as well as acquiring land for further development of the ports.

The Development Strategy of the Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports until 2027 has been based on the analysis of market and legal conditions. Provisions of the Strategy are in line with plans included in the main strategic documents. While defining the vision of the Company, the Strategy determined long-term goals, whereas values distinguishing the two ports are defined in the mission.  Thus, our vision is the following: Szczecin and Świnoujście - leading ports on the South Baltic Sea.
