    PGZ Stocznia Wojenna and JRCKT with container converter contract

    PGZ Stocznia Wojenna signed an agreement with the Military Central Engineering and Technology Office of S.A. (CBKT S.A.) to design and supply container converters for frigates built under the Sword Program.

    This is another concrete step in the construction of the Polish supply chain for the new ships of the Polish Navy and a real strengthening of the national defence and shipbuilding industry.

    JRCKT will provide container converters for the Swordbar frigate

    JRCKT will design, perform and install two 950 kW minimum output converters each, built in 40-foot containers made by sea. The scope of the work will also include medium voltage infrastructure and a wiring system that allows the unit to be connected and disconnected from a terrestrial power source.

    The solution will allow to power the frigate Swordfish from the mainland during a stop in the port. This means a higher operational readiness, a lower load of on-board energy systems and a reduced consumption of ship's resources at rest. It is an element that directly translates into efficiency of operation of units and reduces the cost of their maintenance in life cycle.

    JRCKT expands competence – support of the Sword and Polish defence industry program

    JRCKT is a Warsaw company with over 50 years of experience in designing and manufacturing equipment for the military. The company specialises in ground handling of aircraft and remains the only entity in Poland capable of providing comprehensive equipment for military airports. Entering the marine power system segment shows the expansion of competences with new defence domains.

    For years, JRCKT has been working with American partners on air and land projects, and we are now jointly opening a new chapter in naval defense programs. As a company of the PGZ Group – we show that we can meet the requirements of the Polish Navy also in the most technologically advanced projects.

    Marcin Ryngwelski, President PGZ Stocznia Wojenna

    Wherever possible, we focus on Polish partners. Each such contract means maintaining and developing jobs, transferring competences and increasing the participation of national companies in the implementation of strategic modernisation programmes. Construction of the frigate is not only strengthening the Polish Navy, but also a long-term investment in industrial sovereignty, security of supply and development of the Polish defence industry.
