GRP Shipyard in Spain
Custom Fishing & Offshore
Support Vessels
Professional vessel construction, refit and naval engineering on Europe’s Atlantic coast. Delivering durable, high-performance workboats since 1978.
Atlantic Shipbuilding Expertise for Professional Operators
Based in Galicia, one of Europe’s most established maritime regions, Samala Shipyard specializes in the construction, repair and structural transformation of professional vessels built in GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic).
With over four decades of shipbuilding experience, we combine traditional craftsmanship with advanced naval engineering technologies including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), CNC precision cutting and fully customized ONE-OFF construction.
Our vessels are engineered for safety, durability and operational efficiency in demanding Atlantic conditions.
Specialized Vessel Construction
We design and manufacture custom-built vessels for professional maritime sectors:
• Fishing Vessels
• Aquaculture Support Vessels
• Pilot Boats
• Passenger Workboats
• Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) for Offshore Wind Farms
Each project is developed according to operational requirements, regulatory standards and long-term performance expectations.

Integrated Shipbuilding,
Repair & Naval Engineering Solutions
At Samala Shipyard, we specialize in the construction, repair and structural transformation of professional vessels, combining traditional shipbuilding expertise with modern engineering technologies.
Our work is built on decades of hands-on naval experience and a firm commitment to quality, safety and operational performance at sea.
Our Core Capabilities
New vessel construction in GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)
Comprehensive repair and maintenance for fishing, recreational and professional vessels
Structural conversions and refits adapted to current regulations and operational demands
Advanced osmosis prevention treatment for polyester hulls
Fully customized ONE-OFF vessel construction
Hydrodynamic analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
CNC precision cutting for structural and marine components
We manage projects of all scales — from new fishing vessels and offshore support boats to structural upgrades, vessel extensions, fleet modernizations and preventive maintenance programs.
Every project is approached individually, adapting engineering solutions to the specific operational profile, regulatory framework and performance requirements of each vessel.
Because we understand the sea — and we know what it demands.
OFFSHORE WIND POSITIONING
Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) Builder for Offshore Wind Operations
Samala Shipyard develops high-performance Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV) designed to transport technicians and equipment safely between shore bases and offshore wind farms.
Through hydrodynamic optimization using CFD analysis, our vessels achieve:
Reduced fuel consumption
Enhanced crew comfort and safety
Stability in adverse weather conditions
Extended structural lifespan
Constructed in GRP for lightweight strength, corrosion resistance and lower lifecycle maintenance.
ENGINEERING & ONE-OFF
Advanced Naval Engineering
& ONE-OFF Construction
We specialize in fully customized ONE-OFF vessels using the lost-mould technique.
Our engineering process includes:
• 3D naval design and structural validation
• CFD hydrodynamic simulation
• CNC structural precision cutting
• Osmosis prevention systems for polyester hulls
• Integration of sustainable composite laminates
From concept development to final delivery, every vessel is built to perform under real working conditions at sea.
