Repnaval is located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
After an investment of nearly US$5 million, this car will in practice double the capacity of existing stranded because from now this slipway can accommodate vessels up to 120m length by 20m beam and 5500 tons. With these new capabilities Repnaval can serve almost 80% of the vessels that operate in its area.
While the yard has four slipways that can reach up to 120m in length, the most important innovation is the ability to drag because previously the limit was 3200 tons.
“We have undertaken this major investment mainly to respond to the numerous fleets of OSV ships operating our area, some of which have had to stop attending because they cannot get their specifications, especially in tonnage,” said Álvaro Garaygordóbil, CEO of the Zamakona Yards group in the Canary Islands.
