A crisp and frosty Christmas morning in Ustka
Christmas morning in Ustka unfolded under clear skies and biting frost, offering a distinctly Baltic winter scene. Thin layers of ice formed along the quays, while the harbour waters remained calm, reflecting the pale light of the rising sun over the sea.

The port was unusually quiet, with most fishing and service vessels secured alongside the berths. Only essential maintenance and monitoring activities were visible — a reminder that, even during the holiday season, maritime operations continue to require vigilance. Sub-zero temperatures demand particular attention to mooring lines, onboard systems and access to water, especially in smaller harbours along the coast.
Seabirds gathered along the breakwaters, completing the picture of a port town momentarily at rest. Known for its year-round fishing activity and seasonal tourism, Ustka revealed a more contemplative side this Christmas morning — one shaped by silence, cold air and the steady presence of the Baltic Sea.
For maritime professionals, Christmas is not only a time for family but also an opportunity to reflect on the passing year and the challenges ahead. The frosty morning in Ustka provided a fitting backdrop for that pause — with the sea, as always, at the centre of attention.
