Sailing training vessel for Algeria - 1000th launching coincides with 70th Anniversary
of Remontowa Shipbuilding
Remontowa Shipbuilding - a shipyard with rich traditions and experience is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.
In the beginning its activity covered construction of
railway wagons and production of furniture. Gradually expanding its production profile, it has become
a leader among European shipyards. Today, Remontowa Shipbuilding, being a member of the Remontowa Holding capital group, offers a wide range of
products while the ships built in it stand out in the
market due to cutting-edge technology and high level
of automation meeting the Owners’ requirements as
well as the latest industry trends. Over 70 years of activity Remontowa Shipbuilding has built nearly 1000

The thousandth ship is already under construction.
Its launching will take place this year in Autumn.
It will be a sail training ship ordered by an Owner from Algeria. The three-masted frigate will serve the Maritime Academy’s cadets in improving their marine craft and navigational skills. In addition, like the majority
of sail ships, it will perform ceremonial duties and participate in international competitions and races.
The sailing training ship will operate in all waters except the polar area during polar winter. Apart from the
construction of the vessel, the contract also embraces the training of crew and cadets which will be carried
out in cooperation with Gdynia Maritime Academy.
The author of the concept and basic design of the ship is design office Choreń Design & Consulting.
The vessel will be delivered late 2016.

On June 1, 2015, a ceremony of laying the keel for the second (of a series of three) modern car passenger ferry was held at Remontowa Shipbuilding yard, member of the Remontowa Holding capital group. The ferries
have been ordered by Canadian owner BC Ferries - biggest ferry operator in North America.
The keel laying, despite nowadays having a symbolic character only, is an important part of the shipbuilding
process. It is a milestone in the implementation of each project crowning the end of fabrication of the hull
and the beginning of assembling individual components of the ship together.
The ceremony was attended by representatives of BC Ferries. Symbolic silver coin in the bottom section of
the hull was welded in by vice president of engineering - Mr. Mark Wilson.
The contract signed at the end of last year, covers the construction of three most modern ferries in their class,
including delivery to the home port. The ferries will be driven by azimuth thrusters with electric motors.
The source of power will be dual fuel generating sets fuelled by conventional diesel oil or LNG. Such propulsion will guarantee cost-effective operation of ships and low emissions of harmful substances into the
atmosphere. The vessels were entirely designed by Remontowa Marine Design & Consulting - a consulting
design office being a member of the Remontowa Holding.
The three new BC Ferries vessels comply both with the requirements of the classification society (Lloyd’s
Register) under supervision of which they are being built, as well as the Government Agency (Transport
Canada). The ferries will operate on the west coast of Canada taking on board up to 150 cars and 600 passengers.
SHIPREPAIRS AND CONVERSIONS
More effective dredging performance for Boskalis’ Shoalway
Most of the dredgers serviced by Remontowa over the recent years come from renowned owners Royal
Boskalis, being among the world’s leaders in a wide range of services including dredging, offshore sector
and towage and salvage. The Boskalis’ fleet of dredgers comprises some 60 units, including trailing suction
hopper dredgers and the largest unit among them - the Queen of the Netherlands with a hopper capacity of
35,500 m³.
A trailing suction hopper dredger has large, powerful pumps and engines that enable it to suck up sand, clay,
sludge and even gravel from ocean or river beds. One or two suction pipes run from the vessel to the bed. A
draghead is attached to the end of the pipe and lowered to just above the bed, making it possible to regulate
the mixture of sand and water that it takes in. A trailing suction hopper dredger generally stores the dredged
material in its own hopper and discharges the left-over water overboard, so it may operate on its own, without the need to employ accompanying hopper barges.
On April 23, the dredger of just the type described above, entered the Gdansk based Remontowa Shiprepair
yard. The 2010 built vessel was delivered by Intervak Scheepswerf Constructie of Harlingen, but its partly
outfitted hull was built in Szczecin, Poland. The ship is 90.2 m long overall, 19.8 m wide and draws 5.9 m.
It may dredge up to 30 m deep and features 4500 m³ hopper capacity.
Two years earlier Shoalway visited Remontowa for
maintenance of 11 double bottom tanks and replacement of starboard side azimuthing main propulsion
thruster. This time, in 2015, the ship had the complete
23-tonne assembly of port side azimuthing thruster
(owners’ supply) installed. However, the most important item in repair specification, was the dredging pipe works. At Remontowa, the suction pipe was
modified, which was aimed at improving the dredging efficiency. Also system for hopper water filling
recirculation has been upgraded in pump room and
on deck.
Furthermore, such works have been done onboard

piping replacement, replacement of hydraulic cylinders for bottom hopper doors. Also overlays have been installed on eight bottom doors (some 2.5 ton of material), as well as freshwater and ballast water tanks bottom plugs, besides some minor works. The dredger
has also been docked in the course of recent works, completed late May. After that the dredger commenced
work in German port of Rostock.
OFFSHORE
Remontowa assisted Maersk Supply Service in upgrading their Maersk Assister AHTS
Danish AHTS Maersk Assister has arrived at Remontowa essentially to have one major modification done
- to get a new, back-up winch. The new major item of
equipment has been installed on deck „D”.
The powerful, Maersk Supply Service operated, offshore tug had arrived at Remontowa with 129-tonne
spare winch temporarily stowed starboard on main
deck. Late May, with use of the Yard’s own sheerleg floating crane REM-220, an operation to move
and place the winch on its final place of installation,
on the upper deck, was performed. Furthermore, additional equipment was installed, accompanying the
winch itself, such as cable spooling guide runner,
guiding roller and a smaller, 26.5-tonne winch.

The ship’s additional winch has been placed on a new
foundation fabricated and installed at the yard.
Maersk Assister is the 2000, German yard PS Werften Stralsund built anchor handling tug / supply vessel
(AHTS). The ship features 90.3 m overall length, 24.2 m beam and 5010 t deadweight at 5.9 m (7.80 m max)
draft and is equipped with an A-frame aft. The A-class ship series, represented by the powerful Maersk Assister, deliver bollard pull of 257 up to 282 t with main propulsion rated at 23,500 BHP.
Vistal Group wins 75.5 pln million offshore contract
Vistal Group, a leading manufacturer of large-scale specialized steel structures in Poland, performing contracts for domestic and international clients, has won a major contract in the offshore oil & gas sector to
build elements of a drilling platform in the Johan Sverdrup oil field on the Norwegian shelf of the North Sea.
The contract, worth PLN 75.5 million, was signed with the Norwegian offshore fabrication company Aibel,
a leading supplier in the field of oil & gas and renewable energy. Preliminary work will begin this year, and
completion of the contract is planned for the end of 2016.
The work to be performed by Vistal Group under the
contract includes construction of the drilling support
module, which is the second-largest of three modules
making up the drilling platform.
„We are pleased to sign such a significant contract
with a big player in the offshore sector” - said Ryszard
Matyka, CEO of Vistal Gdynia SA. „This contract
confirms the realization of our long-term growth
strategy. It would not have been possible without the
capital expenditures we made in 2010–2014, investing over PLN 140 million in growth, which enabled
us among other projects to purchase our own site at
the Port of Gdynia, with direct access to the sea, and

The ceremony was attended by several hundred people. Among the guests were: speaker of the Senate Bogdan Borusewicz, deputy governor of the Pomerania Michał Owczarczak, Pomorskie Voivodship marshal
Mieczyslaw Struk, the mayor of Gdansk Pawel Adamowicz, the chairman of the board of Gdansk Region
„Solidarity” trade unions Krzysztof Dośla, as well as deputy director of the department of armaments policy
in the Ministry of National Defence Witold Jagiello. The ceremony was also attended by the shipowners,
representatives of cooperating companies, academia, business representatives and shipyard workers.
Remontowa Shipbuilding, formerly known as the Northern Shipyard (Stocznia Północna) is one of the two
largest companies in the Remontowa Holding capital group, the second largest shipbuilding group in Europe, employing a total of over 8,000 employees.
The historical development of the shipyard and its current position in the Poland’s biggest shipbuilding corporation was presented in a speech given by the president of Remontowa Holding Piotr Soyka.
- Remontowa Shipbuilding is nowadays among the leading shipyards in Europe and, depending of the ranking, occupies various positions in the top 5 yards. It is a profitable company and reaches more than PLN 1
billion revenue.
Remontowa Shipbuilding became a member of the Remontowa Group after purchasing, in 2001, of nearly 100 percent of shares from banks and Centromor. We bought the shipyard empty, with old machines, no

ships, no customers and no newbuilding projects. The shipyard was on the verge of bankruptcy. [...] Step by
step we have been upgrading and modernizing the shipyard. [...] From that time until today, the shipyard has
built and sold more than 180 modern vessels. In 2011 we changed its name, also strengthening the brand, by
adding the word „Remontowa”, which is the best known brand of Polish maritime economy worldwide.
In recent years, Remontowa Shipbuilding became part of the Remontowa Holding capital group. Remontowa Holding further invested more than PLN 100 million modernizing the yard. We built, among others,
modern centers of ships assembly and launching equipped with the largest gantry crane in Gdansk and we
built the most advanced shipbuilding facility for naval ships.
[...]. Remontowa Holding is the best of top Polish exporters for 2014, as well as the single largest tax payer
in Pomorskie region, and the 18th largest tax payer in Poland. To the very large extent we owe this position
to Remontowa Shipbuilding achievements - Piotr Soyka emphasized.
In turn, the current activities of the Remontowa Shipbuilding were discussed by the company’s CEO Andrzej
Wojtkiewicz.
- Unquestionable support for us is the opportunity to act within the Remontowa Holding group. The company
formed by the leading figure of the Polish industry, financed 100 percent by Polish private capital, represents
more than twenty companies involved in the marine industry. Cooperation within the holding gives us the
ability to offer comprehensive technical solutions with the final product being a fully equipped, modern,
complex ships. [...]
Wojtkiewicz also described the current backlog, to be completed until 2016. Currently under construction or
on order at the yard there are laying, recovering and maintenance of subsea power cables for offshore wind
farms, LNG powered Platform Supply Vessels, AHTS, the task of which will be protecting offshore installations by alternation of icebergs course in the region of Labrador and Newfoundland, ferries for Canada and
Estonia, minehunter for the Polish Navy, as well as the three-masted frigate for the Algerian Navy cadets that
will be the thousandth ship to be launched at the yard.
- Today, despite the huge competition, we build about 10 modern ships of different types per year, which
translates into revenue of more than PLN 1 billion. Orderbook filled until the end of 2016 provides employment to more than two thousand shipyard workers and companies cooperating with it - Wojtkiewicz said.
During the gala, from the scene, many warm words have been sent about the people who make up today’s
Remontowa Shipbuilding.

170 billion, which corresponds to about a quarter of Polish exports in 2014.
As explained during the Warsaw gala by Grzegorz Sadowski, who was one journalists and specialist responsible for preparing the rankings, positions of companies in the ranking of the largest companies depend not
only on the size of revenues, but also the dynamics of their growth.
Prizes for the companies on the list were awarded in several categories: „Polish Ambassadors,” „200 Largest
Polish Firms”, „Most Valuable Polish Brand” and „Polish Cheetahs”. The status of „Polish ambassador” was
derived from the top performance in the size and dynamics of export production, as well as its own profitability ratio and return on assets.
In the „Polish ambassadors” category, the first place was taken by Remontowa Holding capital group.
Awards were presented to companies’ representatives by „Wprost” editor-in-chief Tomasz Wroblewski, president of the Stock Exchange Paweł Tamborski and Arkadiusz Bak - undersecretary of State in the Ministry

Director of the office Forum Okretowe Jerzy Czuczman provided presentation on the current situation in the
maritime sector in Poland. In 2014 Polish yards delivered 11 fully equipped ships, of which as many as 70
percent came from Forum Okrętowe member companies. Polish yards repaired or serviced more than 600
ships or other floating units in 2014 (64 percent by Forum Okretowe member companies). This included significant conversions.
Companies affiliated to the Forum Okretowe (60 entities, including 5 yards, 44 equipment manufacturers, 11
associate members) generated a total revenue of PLN 4,900 million. For deliveries in the years 2015-2016 as
many as 27 fully outfitted ships are contracted at Polish yards (203 thousand CGT worth EUR 800 million).
J. Czuczman also emphasized the product complexity jump seen in the Polish maritime industry over the recent
years - from steel processing in 1995 to sales of technical know-how in 2015. A value of 1 CGT has increased
from approx. EUR 1500 in the 90-ties to approx. 4000 EUR at present, now reaching the European average.
In the period since the 90-ties of the previous century to the present, the shipbuilding industry in Poland has
done a tremendous job transforming from the role of the manufacturer of low unit value ships to the manufacturer of complex, technically advanced floating objects of high unit value, which may be now compared
to high class cars.
A presentation on Remontowa Holding was given by Arkadiusz Aszyk, managing director of this Poland’s
leading maritime industries capital group and another member company of Forum Okretowe, Rolls-Royce
Poland, was described by a board member of Przemyslaw Roth, while Robert Ruszkowski, vice president
gave a presentation of Vistal Gdynia SA.
A short video documenting major achievements and events of Polish maritime industries in 2014 and the
first half of 2015 is available at https://youtu.be/tSkUObXrIOM
