SS Sołdek

Local nameSS Sołdek
LocationŚródmieście, Gdańsk, Polska

SS Sołdek is a retired Polish coal and ore freighter. She was the first ship built in Szczecin after World War II and the first seagoing ship completed in Poland. She was the first of 29 ships classed as Project B30, built between 1949 and 1954 in Stocznia Gdańska. The name was given in honour of Stanisław Sołdek, one of the shipyard's shock workers.Sołdek is oftently mistaken with the SS Oliwa, which was commissioned after Sołdek, however which's hull was already constructed in 1944. It was abandoned by the Germans on a slipway in Szczecin, and seized by Poland. Following this the hull was completed and the ship launched as Oliwa. Later she was renamed and entered service in 1951 as Marchlewski, serving the Polish Ocean Lines. Many sources incorrectly state that Oliwa was Sołdek's makeshift name during her launch, and that she was later relaunched again as Sołdek.
