The Polish government is pushing ahead with plans to try and revitalise the nation’s shipyards. The Ministry of Development is trying to get Polish yards, which tend to be centred around the Baltic cities of Gdynia and Gdansk, to focus on passenger ferries and gas tankers. It forms part of a greater overall economic plan by the new government to up Polish manufacturing volumes.
On a recent visit to the Baltic coast, President Andrzej Duda admitted that regenerating Polish shipyards, which once ranked within the top five shipbuilding nations in the world, represented a major challenge.
