At SYM Naval, shipbuilding is driven by precision, advanced engineering and applied innovation. We design and build vessels fully adapted to each shipowner’s operational needs—from tugboats and MARPOL units to zero-emission projects such as Castalia. With state-of-the-art digital tools and eco-efficient technologies, we ensure safety, performance and regulatory compliance at every stage of the process.
Supported by multidisciplinary teams and strategic shipyards in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, we deliver custom shipbuilding solutions that combine technical capability, operational proximity and excellence in execution. This approach allows us to build vessels that are robust, efficient and ready for the current and future demands of the maritime industry.
Custom tugboats for port operations and offshore support, delivering up to 70 t bollard pull. Available with diesel, hybrid or fully electric propulsion.
Specialized units for the collection and transport of MARPOL I–VI waste. Designed to ensure compliance with international environmental standards.
Multi-purpose support vessels, including catamarans and port service units, designed to adapt to diverse operational needs.
Every vessel built by SYM Naval reflects a rigorous and client-focused approach. From initial design to final delivery, our port and special-purpose ships combine custom engineering with clean technologies to ensure efficiency, safety and sustainability.
This shipbuilding process is fully adapted to the real needs of each shipowner and operational environment, guaranteeing optimized performance, reduced costs and long-term reliability.
With tools such as the digital ship model, clients can visualize and interact with the vessel before fabrication begins—reducing errors, improving efficiency and meeting the highest quality standards aligned with Industry 4.0.
SYM Naval operates two proprietary shipyards strategically located in Vilanova i la Geltrú (Spain) and Boca Chica (Dominican Republic). From these facilities, we deliver tailor-made shipbuilding projects with certified quality, technical precision and full process traceability.
Our key strength lies in combining rigorous engineering with local response capacity, ensuring that every shipbuilding project meets the highest international standards while adapting to the operational realities of the Mediterranean and Latin America.
All vessels are built under international naval engineering standards and classification society rules, ensuring safety, durability and full regulatory compliance.
Through SYMlab and advanced digital ship models, we anticipate technical challenges, optimize planning and reduce downtime, delivering smarter and more efficient vessels.
From eco-efficient coatings to hybrid and fully electric propulsion, our shipbuilding projects are aligned with the maritime industry’s decarbonization goals.
With over 25 years of expertise and strategic shipyards in Spain and the Dominican Republic, we deliver tailor-made vessels for shipowners worldwide.
