The country's most important waterway is the river [[Vistula]]. The largest seaports are the [[Port of Szczecin]] and [[Port of Gdańsk]].

Marine transport in Poland has two main sub-groups, riverine and seaborne. On the [[Baltic Sea]] coast, a number of large seaports exist to serve the international freight and passenger trade; these are typically deep water ports and are able to serve very large ships, including the [[ro-ro]] ferries of [[Unity Line]], [[Polferries]] and [[Stena Line]] which operate the [[Poland]] – [[Scandinavia]] passenger lines.

Riverine services operate on almost all major Polish rivers and canals (such as the [[Danube–Oder Canal|Danube–Oder]] and [[Elbląg Canal|Elbląg canal]]s) as well as on domestic coastal routes.
