Container ship orders for Gydnia?

Poland?s shipbuilding industry, which has tended to specialise in building smaller container ships in recent years, received an order boost in January in the form of a glut of contracts for Gydnia Shipyard.

Among the orders is a pair of 2,078 TEU vessels for Rederei Herm Dauelsberg in Germany. These newbuildings will be 188m overall with a breadth of 30m, and will be driven by Cegielski-Sulzer 6RTA72U engines, to provide a service speed of 21 knots.

Also ordered at the yard were a pair of 2,700 TEU vessels for Stefan Patjens in Germany, and two 1,850 TEU ships for Alpha Ship of Leer.
