On 23 June 2026, Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A. signed a contract to build a multi-purpose rescue vessel for the Maritime Search and Rescue Service.
This state-of-the-art vessel will improve the effectiveness of search and rescue operations in accordance with international SAR standards. It will also help to protect human life and the marine environment. It is one of the key investments in maritime search and rescue in Poland.
“Our experience of working with Remontowa Shipbuilding has been very positive. You build reliable, high-quality vessels, and I am confident that this will be the case here too,” said Arkadiusz Marchewka, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Infrastructure.
“This is a great honour for us. This is the third contract we have signed in the last 30 days. Two hydrographic vessels from the SAFE programme and, today, a third vessel for the Polish state, also linked to security in the broadest sense,” said Adam Ruszkowski, CEO of Remontowa Holding S.A.
“We are doubly proud because the Sztorm vessel, which is moored alongside behind our backs, was built at the Remontowa Shipbuilding shipyard in 2012 and has been serving safely ever since,” added Mr Ruszkowski.
The new SAR vessel will be used to carry out tasks relating to maritime safety, including search and rescue, combating threats and pollution in the marine environment, fire-fighting operations, and emergency towing and rescue assistance.
The vessel, which is 65 metres long and 13 metres wide, will be powered by four generating sets, each with a capacity of 1,900 kW, enabling it to reach 15 knots.
The project is co-financed by the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and the Environment (FEnIKS) and the state budget.
