History

Split hopper dredger "Omvac Diez"

Nodosa Shipyard was established over 40 years ago as an auxiliary company in the metal industry. In 1982, it inaugurated its boiler workshop, and in the early 90's, it acquired the concession of a small dock. After successive stages of growth and expansion, the boiler workshop became what is the current factory and the head office. The small docks have become today's shipyard. Other workshops have been added in parallel, as the mechanical workshop.^[1]

On January 19, 2015, the company formalized the acquisition of Factoria Naval de Marin shipyard (FNM),^[2][3] which includes both facilities and the granting of land use, and also the property over the historical shipbuilder and its brand Marin Luxury Yachts names.

Marine division

Yacht "Y-102"

Dedicated exclusively to shipbuilding and ship repair of steel hull vessels.

The shipyard builds mainly tugs and maritime assistance vessels, dredgers and port workboats as pontoons, barges and lighters. It also builds cargo ships (multipurpose), tankers, offshore vessels and fish boats as tuna fishing vessels, long liners, trawlers, purse seiners or auxiliary vessels for aquaculture and trap.

The construction of fishing vessels gave rise to the company, thanks to a geographical linkage to a seafaring region as the Rías Baixas, Galicia, where fishing represents one of the most important economic activities.^[4]

Trawler "Cantábrico Tres".

Other ship buildings included submarines of different capabilities that allow passengers to view the seabed, passenger vessels for commercial and tourist routes, sailboats of different dimensions, yachts, mega yachts, merchant vessels, tankers, any kind of carrying vessel, platforms support and rescue vessels and other offshore vessels, ferries or any other kind of boats.

Turnkey manufacturing is another important area in the company. Nodosa covers works commissioned by other shipyards, whether they are logistics services, cutting or material forming; producing blocks; carrying out any of the stages in shipbuilding: hull, superstructure, fitting out, piping.

The shipyard performs repair, modernization and conversion of ships, conducted both in its facilities and afloat. As for significant figures, the average values by type of repair in the period 2001-2013 are shown below:

• Sleep way repairs average: 86.62

• Total repairs average: 135
