Market Information

PYMAR, an organization to which 16 small- to medium-sized shipyards belong, reports that orders for the construction of 23 vessels were received in 2021. The order intake included offshore wind-related working vessels and research vessels. By the end of 2021, the order book counted about 45 vessels, totaling 291,274 CGT. 85% of the number of CGT under construction is for export.

Location of shipyards and ship types

Shipbuilding activity in Spain is mainly concentrated in Galicia, Asturias and the Basque Country.Among other things, Spanish shipbuilders are strong in building fishing vessels.The Spanish fishing fleet is one of the largest in Europe.Customers for fishing vessels come from Spain itself, as well as from other countries. Spain also builds passenger ships/ferries, work boats (for offshore, among other things) and tugs. In addition to the civil shipbuilding sector, some Spanish shipbuilders are also active in the construction of naval vessels (Navantia) and submarines.

Refits and repair of yachts

In the field of superyacht construction, Spanish shipyards are not very active. On the other hand, a lot of repair, maintenance and refits are carried out, mainly at MB92.But Spain also scores high due to the presence of a refit hub in Palma de Mallorca, where both STP and Astilleros de Mallorca operate.With 165 superyacht refits in 2021, Spain ranks number four in the world.In addition, Spain is a top destination for refits of yachts longer than 60 meters.

Repair and/or maintenance work of seagoing vessels

Spain has shipyards located on both the Atlantic Ocean and also the Mediterranean Sea. Spain also borders the Strait of Gibraltar, one of the busiest waterways in the world.An ideal location for a ship owner to perform maintenance on her vessel.In 2021, about 900 repair and/or maintenance jobs were performed for a total of 450 million euros.Turnover was 30 percent higher than 2020 and 15 percent higher than the average over the last five years. Spanish shipyards are also active in refit and conversion. These include the lengthening of fishing vessels and the repowering of ships.
