Polish boat builders certainly have the experience. Like Harlandt and Wolff in Belfast Gdansk was home to one of the larger boat builidng industries in its past - Solidarnosc started there!

Now they have been put out of business by the Koreans, too - and this when either they started to look at building smaller ships or where asked if they would.

They are certainly up to shipbuilding - what interests me is how does this compare with UK based builders in types of quality, price, fit out etc. Does it make a difference and if so which?
