The all-news station TVN24 reported the fire broke out on Thursday evening in a building where luxury yachts are produced.
A spokesman for the firefighters, Mr Tomasz Czyz, told TVN24 that there were chemical substances in the burning building but it was too soon to know if there was a risk of chemical contamination for people in the area.
The shipbuilding facility is located in Gdansk, the Baltic sea coast city where Walesa's Solidarity movement was founded 30 years.
