Stocznia Remontowa Nauta S A

What Stocznia Remontowa Nauta S A does

Stocznia Remontowa Nauta S.A. (Nauta Shiprepair Yard) is a publicly listed Polish joint-stock company headquartered in Gdynia, founded on October 7, 1926 by resolution of the Town Council of Gdynia. The company specializes in ship repair, conversions, and modifications of commercial and naval vessels, operating continuously 24/7/365 and delivering over 140 projects per year. Following court approval of its arrangement in restructuring proceedings in November 2021 (case VI GRp 4/20), Nauta re-established normal operations and has since secured significant defense and commercial contracts, including a multi-vessel Polish Navy mine sweeper modernization awarded in June 2022.

Nauta's service offering rests on a substantial physical infrastructure footprint at Gdynia: three floating docks (the largest at 190m x 31m), one dry dock (SD I, 240m x 40m), 2,000 meters of technical berths, 19 cranes up to 80t, and a 500t gantry crane. Core technologies span engineering, mechanical, welding, electrical, fitting, and hull work, complemented by specialized capabilities including hydro blasting up to 2,500 bar, installation of exhaust gas cleaning (scrubber) systems and ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) for IMO/MARPOL compliance, complex vessel lengthening and shortening conversions (including oil and gas drilling rig conversions), and — in 2023 — the first commercial application of XGIT-PROP graphene-based marine propeller coating to reduce fuel consumption and biofouling. Defense production includes naval vessel modernization under AQAP 2110 quality assurance, with reported systems modernization reaching up to 80% on certain projects.

The business model is project-based professional services, priced through custom quotes rather than standardized rates, sold via direct enterprise field sales through a dedicated commercial office. Revenue streams are split across four lines: commercial ship repairs and class surveys, ship conversions and modifications, defense production (mainly through consortium arrangements with PGZ and PGZ SW for the Polish Navy), and environmental compliance system installations. Customer segments include international commercial ship owners (with named counterparties such as SONGA Shipmanagement, Jaeger Arrow, and CSL Elbe) and the Polish Navy. The company is an active participant in major maritime industry exhibitions (Nor-Shipping, Posidonia, SMM Hamburg) and holds quality certifications under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 (issued by PRS and ABS), AQAP 2110:2016, and an Internal Control System for export of strategic goods.
