These state-of-the-art facilities enable the shipyard to accommodate all types of vessels, from frigates, tuna seiners, supply vessels, and tugboats to high-end yachts.

Across more than 10,000 m² of handling area, a 100% electric operation system ensures smooth manoeuvres and full hull protection.
Every lifting operation follows strict safety protocols and offers complete traceability, meeting the highest standards required by commercial, military, and industrial shipowners.
