After the Second World War it came to Bydgoszcz, where it was used as a tug on the Brahe until 1995 . The water taxi transports around 10,000 people annually.
In 2008 the city bought two solar- powered boats from the German company Yacht Concept Solartechnology to complement the old MS Bydgoszcz . They were named Słonecznik (Sunflower) and Słonecznik II .
