Apart from multipurpose general cargo ships of type 8203, built in Gdańsk:
http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=2715589

Gdynia Shipyard Group developed stowable ro-ro (sto-ro, or: ro-lo) ships of 8222 class - primary for paper roll
and palletized wood pulp transport, but also for boxes - 716 TEU. (L = 157,50 m, B = 25,60 m, H = 16,30 m).
Such versatile ships were ordered by consortium Palkkiyhtyma OY (Finland) and B&N Nordsjöfrakt (Sweden)
and have highest ice class. Three vessels were delivered as initially planned:

8222/1 FINNFIGHTER, IMO 9216626, 2001;
http://www.shipspotting.com/ships/ship.php?imo=9216626

8222/2 FINNPINE, IMO 9216626, 2002;
http://www.shipspotting.com/ships/ship.php?imo=9216638

8222/3 FINNWOOD, IMO 9232785, 2002;
http://www.shipspotting.com/ships/ship.php?imo=9232785

In year 2006 all three ships were lengthened at Blohm+Voss by ca. 20 m, increasing capacity to 759 TEU.
In 2018, the third one was converted by new owner into power station vessel.

There was also fourth vessel ordered by consortium, but contract was cancelled, while under construction.
The launched, incomplete hull was later sold to Dutch Wagenborg and delivered in June 2004 as:

8222/4 ORANJEBORG, IMO 9232797, 2004;
http://www.shipspotting.com/ships/ship.php?imo=9232797

Other example of container carriers might be con-bulkers of class 8228:
