Representatives from Wulkan Shipyard, the Maritime Office in Szczecin, and the Polish Register of Shipping (PRS) were present on site to review the progress and discuss the upcoming stages of construction. As highlighted during the meeting, the project is proceeding according to schedule.
Meanwhile, design work carried out by Seatech Engineering continues to advance. The class documentation is in its final stage, with final technical arrangements being completed in coordination with PRS. The hull detail design documentation has already been released for production, allowing the shipyard to proceed smoothly with the subsequent assembly phases. The technical part of the tender for the vessel’s main equipment is also nearing completion.
In addition, Seatech Engineering has shared an initial interior concept, providing an early view of the planned layout and functional design of the onboard spaces.
The SE-114 project demonstrates effective collaboration between a Polish design office, the national classification society PRS, and Wulkan Shipyard, highlighting the growing capabilities of the domestic shipbuilding industry in delivering specialised service vessels.
