SS Sołdek
SS ''Sołdek'' is a retired Polish coal and ore freighter. She was the first ship built in Gdańsk (Poland) 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'' (Gdańsk Shipyard). The name was given in honour of Stanisław Sołdek, one of the shipyard's shock workers. ''Sołde''k is oftently mistaken with the SS ''Oliwa'' (a former unfinished Hansa A type cargo ship), 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 ''S ...

Their shallow hulls mean that they can get through reefs where deeper-hulled seagoing ships usually cannot. Coasters can load and unload cargo in shallow ports.
