Danish contractor Semco Maritime and Spanish shipbuilding and ship repair group Zamakona Yards have formed the Las Palmas Shipyard, a one-stop shop for rig and special-vessel upgrades, maintenance, and repair. The partnership is designed to serve rig owners, offshore operators, and special-vessel clients from a strategically located hub. Operations at the shipyard have already commenced. “Las Palmas Shipyard is located at the very heart of the Atlantic and brings together more than 50 years of experience in the energy and marine industries. We are aligning Semco Maritime’s expertise in complex project integration and execution with Zamakona’s long-standing marine heritage and yard capabilities to form a unique alliance that offers world-class solutions delivered directly at the quayside,” says Nikolaj Vejlgaard, SVP of rig and marine at Semco Maritime. The shipyard is well-positioned to support Atlantic, West African, and European offshore operations, with deepwater quaysides capable of accommodating the largest rigs and offshore vessels, reaching depths of up to 22 m. The facilities offer more than 650 m of continuous quay length with shore power, 15,000 sq m of outdoor storage and 4,000 sq m of indoor workshop facilities and offices. In addition, the shipyard includes an offshore workshop with heavy-lifting capacity, including two 50-tonne overhead cranes and three 5-tonne overhead cranes, and service areas with 11-meter hook height. This infrastructure enables efficient execution of complex rig upgrades, life extensions, vessel modernisations, and large-scale offshore modification projects. The new site will offer upgrades to electrical, automation, and safety systems, as well as logistics and supply chain coordination. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsDenmark Spain
