Polish Steamship Co (Polsteam) boss Pawel Brzezicki says it is close to reaching an agreement to take over management of the Morska Stocznia Remontowa Gryfia Shipyard in Szczecin to target growing demand for retrofitting exhaust-gas cleaning systems.

In addition to the five docks MSR Gryfia has in Szczecin, once one of Europe’s largest shipbuilding sites, another two or three docks are situated at a sister facility in Swinoujscie.
