This Thursday, the company Tenerife Shipyards announced the agreement for the construction of a floating dock at a shipyard in China, which will significantly increase the ship lifting capacity currently available in the Canary Islands. This facility is set to be installed in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2026.
The dock, being constructed at Huarun Dadong Dockyard (HRDD), will have the ability to lift vessels weighing up to 22,000 tonnes, with a length of 230 metres and a width of 34 metres, as stated by Tenerife Shipyards in their announcement.
Slated for installation in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife at the beginning of 2026, the company’s aim is to “revitalise” the ship repair industry within the province of Tenerife.
During the event to commemorate this agreement, board members from Tenerife Shipyards, representatives from Puertos de Tenerife, and the Spanish consul in Shanghai were in attendance.
