Freire Shipyard

Shipyards

FREIRE SHIPYARD was founded in 1895 by Mr. Paulino Freire, and since then it has been dedicated to the construction of ships of all types, both for the domestic and foreign markets. The company is privately owned, and its shareholders are still 100% owned by the Freire family.

In the early days, the shipyard built wooden hulls to its own designs, including its own patented propulsion and auxiliary steam equipment.

At present, it is still dedicated to the construction of all types of ships, with steel hulls up to 155 metres in length; another very important activity is major repairs, a field in which it enjoys great experience and professionalism.

FACILITIES AND SERVICES

In recent decades, the shipyard has specialised in highly customised and complex constructions, with great technological value. In order to make customised boats for each client and each specific use, a shipyard has been created with multiple spaces and technical resources, with highly specialised workshops adapted to the complexity of each project.

TECHNICAL OFFICE AND DESIGN

It has a team of professionals made up of engineers and designers who are involved in every operation of the company and in the relationship with clients. Its engineers and technicians work on all processes, from the development of the preliminary project to the construction plans. This provides great flexibility and adaptation to highly personalised and complex contracts.

REPAIRS AND CONVERSIONS

Ship repair is also a very important activity of the shipyard. In addition to maintenance services, they also undertake lengthening and conversion of all types of vessels.
