Partly outfitted hull prior to launching; the hull as seen on this photo was built at Maritim yard in Gdansk, then transferred on pontoon to the floating dock of Alkor repair yard in Gdansk, where it was launched, later it was towed to Gdynia for outfitting at Gdynia Naval Shipyard (where it is now, in September 2004); the ship will be almost 100 % outfitted in Gdynia, Poland; later it will be transferred to Germany for final outfitting - probably only some part of research / scientific equipment.

Launched 14/1/2004 - DA
