Vessel Description

ORKA WLA-139 is a Polish state-owned aids to navigation and buoy tender vessel operated by the Maritime Office in Gdynia. Built in 1979, the vessel is primarily tasked with the maintenance, deployment, and retrieval of maritime buoys, beacons, and other floating aids to navigation along the Polish Baltic coast and within Polish territorial and economic zone waters. As a government service vessel, ORKA supports the safety of navigation in the southern Baltic Sea region. The vessel's design is typical of purpose-built tender craft from the late Soviet-era shipbuilding period in Poland, featuring a reinforced working deck forward to facilitate buoy handling operations.
