Abstract: The key factor in the development of the Świnoujście seaport is gaining a strong position in handling Czech marine transit, which has been dominated for years by German seaports, with Hamburg at the forefront. Therefore, the announced construction of a modern reloading infrastructure, with a container hub capable of receiving and handling large cargo ships, is an obvious asset here - necessary to take up such competition, but far from suffi cient. It is necessary to launch comprehensive measures that would include investments associated with both seaport infrastructure and necessary communication routes that lead to the said port, ensuring its effi cient communication with the land facilities - the main suppliers and recipients of cargo. An important element - although not suffi cient - of these activities is the construction of the S3 expressway, which is nearing completion, but for eff ective competition, it is necessary to create a dedicated railway route with the highest possible parameters adopted for trans- European routes. It should be noted that without said railway artery, it is impossible to eliminate the competitive advantages of German ports that provide effi cient supply chain with the area, especially the western Czech Republic. Until such route is created, the competition will be doomed from the start, and the considerable funds invested in the development of the Świnoujście seaport will remain largely unused.
