Polish shipyard Morska Stocznia Remontowa Gryfia has won a fleet maintenance deal from domestic operator Polska Zegluga Morska (PZM).

It will work on 12 bulkers next year in a contract worth $7.5m, the Polish News Bulletin said.

"The new regulations require us to conduct maintenance of many of our ships, hence the decision to sign the contract with Gryfia shipyard, which allows us to use its docks for a year," said PZM general director Pawel Szynkaruk.
