UPDATE 22/05/2020 09.32

When the Polish government declared an epidemic, many sanitary restrictions were introduced.

Throughout the threat, we tried to provide your drivers with a safe journey by providing disinfectants, masks, etc.

Being aware that after their work they would return to their homes and families, we placed them individually in cabins to reduce their contact with other people to a minimum.

Due to the partial frostbite of the Polish economy, passenger traffic increased. In this situation, providing individual cabins to drivers will not always be possible. However, we will continue to try very hard.

Therefore, we ask you for reason and forgiveness.

In connection with the introduction in Poland of the obligation to cover the mouth and nose in public places from April 16, 2020, please provide your drivers with appropriate protection measures.

Protective masks will be available for a fee on our ferries.

Translated 

Due to the state of the epidemic introduced by the Polish Government and the related restrictions on movement, we have taken a number of actions to ensure the safety of our passengers and our ferries serving their crew.

However, all our efforts become ineffective without your commitment.

We make a huge request:

1. To ensure safety, we try to offer drivers a journey in single-person cabins wherever possible. Unfortunately, our information shows that it is common practice that drivers gather a few people in one cabin and often enjoy the journey with alcohol. We realize that it is very difficult to spend many hours being locked up in a small room, which is a cabin. However, in view of the potential threat to the lives of drivers, their families and our crews, we believe that this is indisputably necessary. That is why WE AWARE and CALL FOR you to instruct and oblige your drivers to categorically change their behavior on ferries!
2. Please, if possible, equip your drivers with disposable face masks and gloves. Some drivers are equipped with these materials and use them.
3. Please inform your drivers that, in order to avoid the hazards described in point 1, the sale of "high-percentage" alcohol on ferries will not be conducted.

The above procedures are aimed at broadly understood safety of passengers, crew members as well as their families and relatives.
