Polish Register of Shipping announces that the long-serving President of the Board of the classification society Dr. Jan Jankowski, and Board Member Jerzy Wyrzykowski are stepping down from their posts in June in 2013. They had been at helm of the Society for 16 years. Under their leadership PRS developed and instigated proceedings for passing a law in Polish Parliament to recognize Polish Register of Shipping as a non for profit organization, free of share holders commercial pressures, allotting the society’s income to development of the Society and R&D work for enhancing safety.

As a fitting recognition of Poland's evolving shipbuilding tradition and solid, maritime technical skills, a development dubbed the 'virtual shipyard' has been established in Gdansk by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The classification society's reinforced technological commitment to Poland has also been encouraged by the competitive environment which now exists there, and which has fired the transitional economy. DNV's move taps an abundant resource of naval architects and endorses the maritime infrastructural role played by the Technical University of Gdansk, where the Norwegian classification society has set up its Nauticus Modeling Center (NMC).
