Navantia is a Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company that builds vessels for the military and civil sectors. It is the fifth-largest shipbuilder in Europe and the ninth-largest in the world. The company is the result of the segregation of the military assets of the IZAR Group in 2005. The company designs, builds, and supports all types of surface vessels, submarines, and systems. In addition, it is diversifying into new markets such as renewable energy, the offshore industry, and naval services.
Navantia‘s headquarters in MadridOne of the 18th-century doors of the shipyards in Ferrol
The origins of Navantia go back to the beginnings of Spanish naval construction in the 13th century with the Real Atarazanas de Sevilla and the Real Carenero of San Fernando. Ships made in these yards played a key role in the discovery of America, but demand for larger ships with greater drafts meant that navy ship production was moved to Arsenal de Ferrol (A Coruña), Arsenal de Cartagena (Murcia), and La Carraca, (Cádiz) under reforms introduced by the Marques de la Ensenada and Jorge Juan in the eighteenth century.
These shipyards became part of the Spanish Naval Construction Society (La Naval) where civil shipyards such as Matagorda in Puerto Real (Cádiz) or Sestao (Vizcaya) also belonged. The state took over the military arsenals at the end of the Spanish Civil War and formed the Empresa Nacional Bazán in 1947 to build ships using foreign technology. Bazán later began to develop its own ship projects.
IZAR was formed in 2000 following a merger between Astilleros Españoles, a company that brought together publicly-owned civil shipyards, and the Empresa Nacional Bazán. To achieve greater efficiency, the Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI), the largest shareholder and manager of the IZAR group, separated the military branch in December 2004 and subsequently formed Navantia in March 2005. The civil operations were later also transferred to Navantia. The company is 100% owned by SEPI, the Spanish state-owned industrial holding group, and it designs, builds, repairs, and modernizes military and civilian vessels.
In March 2016, Navantia was selected as the 'preferred bidder' for two logistics support ships for the Royal Australian Navy.[3] In April 2021, Navantia launched its first completely Spanish designed and built submarine, the Issac Peral S-81. This was 133 years after the launch of the world's first functional military submarine, the Peral.[4]
Locationedit
Navantia has locations throughout Spain. The company's headquarters are in Madrid and production centers are in:
Navantia's activities can be divided into four main sectors: naval defense (the historical core of the group's business and including ships, submarines, and management of the operational availability of forces); systems (research, development, and integration of defense, surveillance, and navigation systems); diversification (renewable marine energy, construction of naval bases and power plants, and offshore installations); and services (maintenance, repair, and life cycle support).
Turbines: Navantia manufactures naval steam turbines and equipment (such as reduction gears, rudders, shaft lines, and torpedo tubes) for both the civil and military markets. The Navatia turbine factory installed the first propulsion plant on a ship in 1912 and since then has worked independently in collaboration with world-class technologists such as General Electric, Mitsubishi Hitachi PS, Siemens, and Schelde Gears. Its product catalog includes:
Equipment such as reduction gears, shaft lines, rudders, and gas turbine encapsulation.
Steam turbines licensed by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems in an approximate power ranges of 2 to 15 MW for co-generation plants, biomass, and other industrial applications
Components and / or steam turbines in a variety of power ranges with different technologists
Life cycle support that includes repair and / or maintenance, technical assistance, optimization of equipment, and spare parts. Navantia has participated in the manufacture and commissioning of steam turbines for power generation plants in Spain, such as nuclear and thermal plants, co-generation and biomass plants, as well as other industrial applications.[5]
Engines: Navantia has manufactured high and medium speed four-stroke diesel engines since 1947, and is present in a wide range of naval and land application markets. Its product catalog includes:
Propulsion equipment for numerous types of ships
Land propulsion equipment for military vehicles
Generating sets for numerous types of ships
Generating groups for all types of ground applications
After-sales service (technical assistance, maintenance, and spare parts)
Training courses for clients in the operation and maintenance of equipment. The Navantia motor factory has modern facilities (including induction furnaces, CNC machines, more than 5000 square meters of assembly, test benches of up to 10,000 kW) and works with license and technology cooperation agreements with the main companies in the sector, including MAN Diesel Turbo, MTU Friedrischafen, and Caterpillar. Navantia has carried out the re-motorization of the M-60 and AMX-30 battle tanks for the Spanish Army. It also supplies propulsion equipment for Leopard tanks and Pizarro cavalry vehicles.
Offshoreedit
Navantia is increasingly diversifying into the offshore sector, especially in wind energy.
