Following an intensive investment programme, BALENCIAGA shipyard now a days builds all kinds of ships in steel, up to 100m LOA, which include tug boats, offshore support vessels, fishing vessels (tune purse seiners, deep freeze trawlers, long liners, ), cargo vessels and product carriers BALENCIAGA shipyard was founded back in 1921. Owing to the conditions being ideally suited for shipbuilding in the surrounding area of Zumaia, with a good supply of wood for building of hulls, engine manufacturers (including the own yard s steam engines) and the prosimity of foundries, as well as the existing demand for fishing vessels, the birth of the company took place on the shores of the Urola river. In the early days the shipyard built by and large fishing vessels. Later on with the introduction of steel, as the new ship building material, it was feasible to enter new markets and build other kinds of ships, such as small cargo vessels, pontoons, tugs, in addition to the fishing vessels, first with riveted hulls and later on using the welding techniques. Recent Times Today BALENCIAGA builds ships up to 100m and 5000DWT. In the last decades, in addition to the cargo and container carriers ships of the eighties and the freezer tuna purse seiners of the nineties, there have been number of highly specialized and challenging projects which the shipyard has been able to embark upon. These include two stern drive tugs for British Petroleum, with 63t bollard pull and oil recovery system, followed by two deep freeze trawlers for a dutch owner and the first ever pair of Rotor Tugs, propelled by three azimuthing propulsion units, which were a completely new concept implemented to a tug. Today At the end of 1999 and early 2001 two completely innovative 60m ROV/Dive support vessels were delivered, the latter taking only 10 months to complete. A 50t bollard pull ASD tug was delivered to a Spanish operator late summer of 2001. By spring of 2003 the largest and most sophisticated multi-purpose offshore support vessel that has been built by this shipyard will have been delivered, with diesel electric propulsion, to their owners North Star. A similar type vessel is scheduled to follow this build, Following an intensive investment programme, Baenciaga shipyard now a days builds all kinds of ships in steel, up to 100m LOA, which include tug...
