3. A) SHIPBUILDING
Shipyards build the hull and the basic structures of a ship and integrate the components
supplied by the auxiliary industries.
Over the last 15 years, Spanish yards have adapted in size, internationalized and specialised in
niche markets where they can add value. They are technologically competitive.

4. B) AUXILIARY INDUSTRIES
B.1) Equipment and accessory manufacturers
Companies focused on the manufacture of equipment and accessories with their own products:
motors, pumps, advanced propulsion systems, etc. Through processes of innovation,
internationalisation and diversification, this industry is in the brand lists of the main shipyards
and ship-owners worldwide. They are internationally recognised and competitive.

In recent years, they have faced financial problems: lack of contracts from shipyards/margins
have been reduced considerably.
The surviving companies have improved training, have invested in new production and
technological equipment, have integrated with the shipyards in joint projects and have
diversified in other sectors and markets.
B) AUXILIARY INDUSTRIES
B.3) Workshops and Subcontractors:
Construction, repairs and maintenance
(surface treatments, soldering, plumbing,
carpentry, electrical installation, electronics
etc.). Mainly workforce suppliers for
manufacture of blocks, pre-assembly, assembly
installation and finishing of ships. Located
close to shipyards.

1.1. Definition and structure of the sector
8. 2008 was the best year in recent history with a record order book followed by a drastic
drop in turnover, employment and hours worked both in the shipyards and in the auxiliary
industries. The latter suffered less presumably due to greater diversification.

1.2. Recent evolution of Spanish shipbuilding
9. The period 2010 to 2013 was dramatic:
• The global drop in orders of around
40%.
• Asian shipyards taking nearly 90% of
new orders and particularly strong in
the bulk-carrier niche.
• Specifilly in the Spanish case, the
cessation of tax lease, forced by the EU,
with the temporary suspension of this
finance and fiscal support scheme.
2014 and 2015 shows signs of an incipient
recovery in Spain mainly in offshore
service vessels, fishing boats and
passenger ships.

10. • An industry of synthesis: auxiliary
industries typically input 70% of the
value of a vessel.
• A industry specialised in certain types
of high added value vessels
• A high intensity exporting industry
(80% of production)
• An industry, geographically
concentrated in just 3 regions

4. SPAIN IN THE GLOBAL MARITIME CONTEXT
21. • Spanish shipbuilding is an exporting
sector.
• Main customers are Norwegian and
British ship owners or other specialised
centres: the Bahamas, the Cayman
Isles or Panama.
• Frequently in smaller yards, the clients
are loyal and repeat contracts.
• Transatlantic cruise ships and fishing
boats have become more important,
but the Spanish shipyards continue to
build smaller but technologically
advanced vessels, especially for the
offshore industry and other specialised
vessels (dredgers, tugs, etc.)
21
• Spain also imports vessels from the same or similar specialised centres as well as from Norway
and the USA. Imports are primarily of yachts and recreational boats.
5. INTERNATIONAL TRADE
5.1. Shipbuilding exports & imports
24. EXPORTS
• Spain is a mainly exporting country in shipbuilding auxiliary industries, producing a wide
variety of highly differentiated types of products and equipment.
• Exports levels vary depending on the product.
TRENDS
• 2008 – 2011: a drop in exports in almost all products.
• 2011: a certain recovery in some areas (fenders, anchors, radio equipment, etc.).
• The most important product exported was rolled steel although it did not recover to the
record 2008 level.
• Figures for radar and radio equipment remain relevant and stable.
• Germany main export market, followed by Italy and France.
24
5. INTERNATIONAL TRADE
5.2. Auxiliary industry exports & imports
26. 26
5. INTERNATIONAL TRADE
5.2. Auxiliary industry exports & imports
IMPORTS
• Spain mainly imports rolled stainless steel products.
• Motors and radio navigation equipment have also been relevant although motors have
dominated.
• Finland is the sixth country in the import ranking, specifically as a result of the imports of
rolled steel products and to a lesser extent motors for propulsion.
29. • The Spanish shipbuilding industry is
specialised in fishing boats, defence,
offshore and supplies. It is a
prestigious technologically advanced
industry with a well-qualified
professional workforce.
• The current price of oil is having a
negative effect on the offshore oil
market.
• Spanish shipyards are now
contracting other types of vessels;
fishing boats, tugs and pushing
boats, vessels for transport and
ferries powered by LNG.
29
6. OPPORTUNITIES FOR FINNISH INDUSTRY
30. • The potential Spanish clients of Finnish industry within
the shipbuilding industry are ship owners and
shipyards, both public and private.
• The public sector buys vessels for national objectives
(defense, security and vigilance, rescue, research) and
generally from domestic shipyards.
• Major companies can operate as ship owners
(e.g.Repsol in the energy sector).
• Main brands, e.g. propulsion systems, often chosen by
the ship owner. For other equipment, the shipyards
generally act as purchaser.
• International suppliers are important in motors for
propulsion and radio navigation equipment; some with
factories in Spain (as Wärtsilä) and others with
commercial offices. 30
6. OPPORTUNITIES FOR FINNISH INDUSTRY
31. • Finnish products are practically testimonial, except for rolled
steel products and the company Wärtsilä which manufactures
motors in Spain.
• This and the fact that it is a particularly open market suggest
that there are opportunities to work in the Spanish shipbuilding
market.
• The perception of Finnish products is that they have a high
technological content and are environmentally friendly.
• Finnish companies have a good reputation for meeting their
commitments (delivery dates, etc.).
• The Spanish market is price-sensitive, but in the case of major
equipment, chooses prestigious and recognised major brands.
• The best opportunities will probably arise for those products
which guarantee the most efficient environmental results. 31
