Why you should repair (or convert) your ships at Astilleros.

We think that you have at least four good reasons to choose Spain:

Our strategic allocation.

Spain is the natural crosspoint for all major routes linking America, Europe and the East, and crude oil shipping through the Suez Canal or the Cape of Good Hope.

Our technical skills and facilities. 12 dry docks, 2 floating docks and one syncrolift, with capacities up to 400.000 d.w.t.

Our conversion experience

Ask for the facts. Astilleros has successfully converted all kinds of vessels (we have just delivered 3 chemical tankers for Gotaas Larsen, and our recent contracts include the conversion of a 21.000 dwt

Bulkcarrier into a molten Sulphur carrier for Navimin). And Astilleros is a well known leader in FPSO and FSU and in Internal Blasting and Coating.

A spread of specialized yards.

Along the long coastline of Spain, covering all tonnages.

And the Spanish weather...

Last but not least: an excellent climate means that work is rarely heald up by adverse weather.

As Astilleros offers, also, the best price and surprising financial packages, don't you think it's high time to check on us? and
