The dean shipyard in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Repnaval. SA, belonging to the group Zamakona Yards, is already operating its number 4 new slipway.
After an investment of nearly 5 million Euros, this car will in practice double the capacity of existing stranded because from now this slipway can accommodate vessels up to 120 meters length by 20 meters beam and 5,500 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 120 meters in length, the most important innovation is the ability to drag because previously the limit was 3,200 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” says Mr. Álvaro Garaygordóbil, CEO of the Zamakona Yards group in the Canary Islands.

The International Working Women’s Day or International Women’s Day celebrates the struggle of women for their participation, equality with men in society and their full development as a person. The first celebration of this day took place in 1911 in Germany, Austria, Denmark and Switzerland extending its celebration since then to many countries.
From Zamakona Yards we want to pay a small tribute to all women in the world and especially our colleagues who daily prove themselves working side by side with their colleagues. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THEM!

Crews from the Marine Action Ships (BAM) and the Canary Security Unit (USCAN) visited the Repnaval shipyard in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.
Both ship Officers and Marines visited the vessel Playa de Azkorri, which is currently being repaired at the shipyard. They checked security issues.
The visit was accompanied by the Captain. The vessel is a tuna fisher, similar to the ones operating in the Indian Ocean, where Operation Atalanta is taking place and where their vessels will be used In the near future.
This operation is organized by the Security Council of the UN to protect vessels of the World Food Program while bringing humanitarian help to Somalia.
Operation Atalanta is also authorized to deter, prevent and combat acts of piracy and armed robbery taking place off the coast of Somalia.
The Maritime Action Vessels – BAM – are designed to carry out military missions of conventional and unconventional character regarding threats. BAM conducts committed presence, surveillance and limited actions of neutralization, all within Maritime Safety regulations.
The Canary Security Unit – USCAN – is a component of the Marine Force Protection, with the mission of providing security to Navy staff and installations. The marine force protection is responsible for the area of the Canary Islands.
We hope their visit here will help them in their efforts to protect the Indian Ocean. Good luck.
