BA-Beata – a key asset in fuel transport

Built in 1973 at the Szczecin River Shipyard, BA-Beata is a steel fuel barge designed for the transportation of petroleum products. Measuring 38.66 m in length, 9.08 m in beam, and 1.78 m in draft, the vessel serves as a floating platform for fuel storage and bunkering operations in seaports. Due to its size and specialization, BA-Beata plays an important role in the fuel logistics chain along the Polish coast.

A new technical challenge for Szkuner shipyard
