mf Mazovia undergoes five-year class survey at MSR Gryfia – overcoming winter challenges and specialist technical services.

January 31st, 2026, the ferry mf Mazovia, part of the Polferries (Polska Żegluga Bałtycka) fleet, arrived at MSR Gryfia Shipyard in Szczecin. The vessel docked for its scheduled five-year class survey, combined with intensive dry-dock maintenance.

The docking process took place during an exceptionally harsh winter period. With temperatures dropping to -15°C and significant ice coverage in the waters, the operation demanded maximum precision and extensive experience from the shipyard team.

The scope of the overhaul includes a comprehensive inspection of the vessel's key machinery:

• Main engines,
• Generator sets and alternators,
• Ro-ro systems (ramps, doors, actuators).

A standout element of this contract, distinguishing it from standard merchant ship repairs, was the service of the fin stabilizers. These works require the extension of the "fins" and a series of specialized diagnostic and service procedures to assess their technical condition and ensure failure-free operation.

The successful execution of such a complex repair under difficult winter conditions confirms MSR Gryfia's high operational efficiency and our readiness to serve the most demanding ROPAX vessels.
