Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said that the government will approve the idea of establishing the Polska Grupa Promowa (the Polish Ferry Group) at Tuesday's sitting in Szczecin.
"The project stipulates an active role for the state in developing the sector and the provision of funds for new ferries and infrastructure," said Kopacz. "Our aim is to create a strong entity that will be able to build a significant position on the market," she added.
The Ministry of the Treasury told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) that the program will be carried out by 2020. The Polish Ferry Group will consolidate assets of ferry operators: Polska Żegluga Bałtycka and Polska Żegluga Morska. The program also foresees the construction of modern vessels and ports.
