Date of publication: 28.04.2014

First steel cutting for the construction of ship „KORMORAN II’ was started in Remontontowa Shipbuilding S.A member of Capital Group REMONTOWA HOLDING on Friday, 25 of April 2014. The ceremony was a consequence of the contract signed between Armament Inspectorate of Polish Navy and the Consortium headed by Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A. in September 2013.

Contract includes construction of prototype ship which is supposed to be delivered in fourth quarter of 2016 and two next ships which will be delivered after the first one.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, model tests of creating the shape of the  hull were carried out in Ship Design and Research Centre in Gdańsk.

The result of the test was to define  the  seaworthy of the  ship and its maneuverability. Thanks to detailed analysis of the parameters it was possible to improve hull’s shape and precise calibration of power system.

The “first steel cutting” is the milestone ending the phase of technical investigations,  as well as  starting real construction of the ship.

The ship is dedicated to mine hunting tasks in Polish Economical Zone, as well as in tactical task forces in Baltic and North Sea and other auxiliary tasks defined by MoD. The vessel is designed with great care to achieve low signature and high maneuverability. The ship with length of  58,50 m will be operated by  45 persons  crew.
