Flensburg • FRS Windcat continues its growth with its recently established new subsidiary FRS Windcat Polska. The new office is based in Oliwa district in Gdansk, which will be one of the major cities in Polands future offshore development. The main reason for this step is the upcoming development from political authorities in Poland in the last months giving hopes to the industry that offshore wind energy will become an important part of the country’s energy mix. Additionally, FRS Windcat started to train Polish skippers on its Crew Transfer Vessels (CTVs) which are operating in the Baltic Sea. This will bring the company the possibility to have experienced Polish crew who have already worked on the Windcats CTVs and who are familiar with the specific operational area of the Baltic Sea.
