Construction progress of Tenerife Shipyards’ new floating dock, a large-scale maritime structure designed to service Panamax vessels and expand shipyard capabilities in the mid-Atlantic.

A Major Milestone in the Atlantic Shipbuilding and Repair Industry

Tenerife Shipyards is reaching a new milestone in its journey to become one of the most advanced and reliable maritime hubs in the Atlantic. Our new floating dock, currently under construction, is taking shape rapidly and, even better, ahead of schedule. We’re proud to announce that we expect full possession and operational readiness before the end of the year.

 

Why a Floating Dock? Meeting the Demands of Modern Maritime Logistics

Increasing Capacity and Flexibility

 

The installation of this floating dock will significantly increase our capacity to handle larger and more complex vessels, particularly Panamax-class ships, which require specific drydocking infrastructure due to their dimensions. This addition allows us to offer:

  • Greater flexibility in drydocking schedules

  • Reduced turnaround times for repairs and maintenance

  • Enhanced safety standards with state-of-the-art technology

Strategic Advantage in the Mid-Atlantic

Located in the Canary Islands, Tenerife Shipyards already benefits from a strategic geographic position between Europe, West Africa, and the Americas. This new facility reinforces our role as a key logistics and service hub for:

  • Offshore and energy support vessels

  • Cargo and container ships

  • Naval and auxiliary fleets

  • Oil & gas industry units

What Makes This Floating Dock Special?

Technical Features at a Glance

 

Built to Handle Panamax Vessels

The dock is designed to accommodate vessels up to Panamax dimensions, with custom reinforcements to support heavy loads and ensure stability in variable conditions.

Sustainability and Efficiency

From energy-efficient pumps to reduced water displacement systems, the dock is being built with environmentally conscious technology and efficient resource management in mind.

Modular and Scalable

The design is modular, allowing us to adapt and expand depending on future demand and market trends. This is a forward-looking investment, not just for 2026 but for the next 20 years of maritime evolution.
