The Polish Navy has ordered azimuth thrusters from Schottel for its new rescue vessel Ratownik, currently under construction at PGZ Stocznia Wojenna, Poland. The vessel, set for delivery in 2029, will enhance naval capabilities in the Baltic Sea with features including dynamic positioning, cranes, and fire-fighting systems.

The propulsion package includes two EcoPellers, two transverse thrusters, and a retractable RudderPropeller, all designed for ice-prone waters. The vessel is expected to be launched in 2027.
