In Brief: Elblag shipyard to move to Gdansk; Klose; Bomabadier warns PKP
The Elblag shipyard, opened over a year ago, is to be relocated from Elblag
to Gdansk. The decision was made by its owner, the Gdynia Shipyard. Janusz
Szlanta, president of Gdynia Shipyard, said "It was not possible to achieve
sufficient efficiency in Elblag to justify profitability of production. The
attempt to locate a shipyard in Elblag failed." (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 6)

has announced that it expects to yield a zl. 3 million profit as a result of
restructuring made at a cost of DM 20 million in plants belonging to the
group. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 6) ... Wroclaw-based Bombardier, a producer
of locomotives, warned Polish State Railways (PKP) that if payment is not
