Den fortsatte subsidiering af Gdańsk skibsværft, f.eks. i form af manglende inddrivelse af offentlige fordringer, produktionsgarantier samt adskillige kapitaltilførsler og lån, satte værftet i stand til at indgå kontrakter, uden at der blev taget fuld højde for de dermed forbundne risici.
The continuous subsidising of Gdańsk Shipyard, for example via non-enforcement of public liabilities, production guarantees as well as numerous capital injections and loans, allowed the yard to conclude contracts without full recognition and remuneration of all the risks involved.
