Gdynia Shipyard tries to sell Gdańsk Shipyard to Treasury

"We had a meeting with the Economy Minister. We agreed that another meeting will take place in 10 days; in the meantime the Economy Ministry and the State Treasury will prepare a schedule and an action plan which have to be taken in order to demerge the companies," said Dariusz Adamski, the head of Solidarity in the Gdynia Shipyard and a member of the company's supervisory board. The Gdynia Shipyard estimates the value of the Gdańsk Shipyard at zł. 80 million, which is the same value as the stake that the Treasury holds in the Gdynia Shipyard. The trade unions want the State Treasury to liquidate its stake in the Gdynia Shipyard in return for acquiring the Gdańsk Shipyard. This would open the door for Ray Car Carriers and Mediterranean Shipping Co. to enter the Gdynia Shipyard and, in accordance with their offer, increase the company's capital by zł.150 million.
