Wilhelmsen Opens New FRS Service Station in Gdansk, Poland

Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) has recently opened a new Fire, Rescue and Safety (FRS) service station in Gdansk, Poland, to serve vessels in the Baltic Sea.

The service station is located in Gdansk and has the capacity to serve all ships in the Gdansk and Gdynia ports and repair yards.

Roger Gundermann, WSS Technical Manager for Europe, commented, “A large, new workshop has been purpose-built and includes impressive modern equipment. The service centre is suitable for the wider range of WSS Safety Services. We can confirm that this station is one of the most modern on the Baltic Sea and is ready to fulfil all orders coming from our customers.”

In addition to having approvals from DNV, LR and RMRS for the global WSS service network, this service centre has also been approved by the Polish Maritime Authority.

This new FRS service station in Gdansk, together with the company’s liferaft service station in Szczecin, enables WSS to offer a full range of safety services and liferaft exchange to vessels in the Baltic region.
