Within a couple of days of November 2019 there were as many as 25 ships of various types being repaired at Remontowa Shiprepair Yard S.A. Among the vessels were: tankers, bulk carriers, chemical carriers, fishing vessels, ro-ro’s, reefer vessels, as well as car-passenger ferries.

Three ships were being retrofitted with Ballast Water Treatment systems. This is a relatively young field of shipbuilding services, which started to develop a few years after the adoption by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) of the international convention on the control and management of ballast water and marine sediments (Ballast Water Management Convention).

Remontowa SA is one of the first shipyards all other the world to install BWT systems on ships. The first ships were equipped with those systems as early as in 2007. The shipyard is also a leader in retrofitting ships with Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (scrubbers) which limit sulphur oxides emission in exhaust gases to the atmosphere. At the end of November 2019, EGCS were being installed on three chemical tankers, a combined/ro-ro container ship and on a car-passenger ferry.
