The new Polish Navy rescue vessel Ratownik<\/em>, currently under construction at the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna <\/a>shipyard in Gdansk, will be equipped with a comprehensive propulsion package supplied by Schottel. <\/a>Designed to replace the Polish Navy\u2019s existing rescue units, the ship will significantly enhance submarine crew rescue capabilities and strengthen the protection of subsea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. Its launch is scheduled for 2027, with delivery expected in 2029.<\/p>\n With a length of approximately 96 meters and a displacement of 6,500 tonnes, the Ratownik <\/em>will be one of the largest rescue vessels in the Baltic Sea. Designed to work with unmanned systems and rescue helicopters, the vessel will be equipped with cranes, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and a firefighting system. Thanks to its modular design, the ship is highly adaptable to mission-specific requirements.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are focused on equipping Ratownik<\/em> with systems that will ensure reliable performance in the most demanding Baltic Sea conditions\u201d, says Marcin Ryngwelski, CEO of PGZ Stocznia Wojenna. \u201cThe Schottel propulsion package is essential for precise maneuverability during submarine rescue operations and dynamic positioning missions. Our commitment is to deliver a vessel that serves the Polish Navy\u2019s needs with proven, dependable technology.\u201d<\/p>\n Built to perform complex rescue operations, including precise dynamic positioning (DP) during diving missions, the Ratownik<\/em> requires high maneuverability supported by reliable propulsion. To meet these demands, the vessel will be equipped with two type SRE 560 Schottel EcoPellers The robust and hydrodynamically optimized azimuth thrusters enable the ship to make full use of its advanced DP capability. In addition, the vessel benefits from low noise and vibration source levels, which is crucial for stealth and surveillance operations, as well as for the use of onboard sonar systems.<\/p>\n For enhanced manoeuvrability in ports and during demanding offshore operations, the vessel will also feature two type STT 3 Schottel TransverseThrusters. The redundant system configuration further increases operational safety, ensuring reliable performance even in critical situations.<\/p>\n Additionally, a Schottel retractable RudderPropeller SRP 260 R will serve as an auxiliary or emergency propulsion system. It remains retracted within the hull during transits and can be extended when additional thrust or DP performance is required. Since the vessel will operate in harsh environments, all propulsion components are specifically adapted for ice-prone waters.<\/p>\n The post New Polish Navy rescue vessel will have full Schottel propulsion package<\/a> appeared first on Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTailored propulsion for demanding missions<\/h4>\n
