Summary/Abstract: The Polish-German dispute over the ship channel (fairway) to Świnoujście has been ongoing since the 1980s and stems from illegal actions by Germany. Resolving the dispute is growing because of Poland’s new investments in critical infrastructure facilities in Świnoujście - an LNG terminal and the construction of a deep-water container terminal. The impediments to the investments generated by the dispute further strain bilateral relations. It should be in the interest of both parties to settle the matter in accordance with international law.
