Our Zamakona Shipyard, located at the Port of Santurce, has recently started the repairs and commissioning of a section of the dry RORO ramp of the Port Authority of Santander.
This work is part of the larger project being carried out by Acciona Infrastructuras to adapt the Maritime Terminal to the developing needs of transport by sea of the Port of Santander.
During February the works will be performed in dry-docking including sandblasting, painting the hull and deck, reconditioning the boiler, pipework, cleaning and repair of tanks as well as renewal of the anodes will be carried out.
Thus Zamakona Yards confirms its commitment to the National Ports providing new construction and maintenance of RORO ramps. Zamakona Yards has built RORO ramps for the ports of Bilbao, Pasajes, Tenerife, Huelva and we are currently finalizing the installation of a ramp 35 meters long and 26 meters wide in the Musel for the Port Authority of Gijón.

This past Wednesday, 15 January, Zamakona Yards carried out the load testing and delivery of the movable ramp for the Roll on-Roll off dock built for the Container Terminal of Tenerife (OHL Group). This innovative elevating structure is the only of its kind in the Canary Islands, permitting a more versatile use of the pier since it will only be employed when vessels with rolling stock arrive (Ro-Ro), permitting the use of the dock for conventional vessels at other times.
It consist of an elevating ramp, 25 meters wide by 20 meters long, for vessels docking at this point in Tenerife. The ramp, which weighs 170 tons is designed to support rolling cargos of 54 tons and static cargos of 30 tons.
The ramp is equipped with an ultimate generation electrical system which permits it to be raised to a vertical position when not being used, leaving the dock free to accommodate conventional vessels. In the raised position, noine of the components protrude more than two meters from the edge.
When inclined it will descend to an angle from the dock from 5,20 meters to 2,90 meters above the equinoctial low tide.
This elevating Ro-Ro Ramp is the first of this type by the Basque-Canarian Group and the 11th of the total ramps built, having fabricated in the last 22 years conventional ramps for different public administrations including; The Port Authority of Las Palmas, The Port Authority of Bilbao, The Port Authority of Pasajes, Naviera Armas and in this last cas, The OHL Group of Tenerife.
With this last construction, Zamakona Yards moves to the Forefront of Spanish shipyards in the construction and installation of Ro-Ro ramps in the Canary Islands and The Iberian Peninsula as well as to the vanguard worldwide in the design and construction of this type of structure.
