When a vessel is scheduled to enter ASTICAN Dry Dock in Las Palmas, appointing the right local ship agent is an important part of the dry-docking plan. Shipowners, ship management companies, vessel operators, masters and technical superintendents may need support not only for the vessel's arrival, but throughout the entire docking and repair period.
Our Astican Dry Dock Agency in Las Palmas provides local agency and logistics coordination for vessels attending ASTICAN for dry docking, repairs, maintenance, inspections, conversion or other shipyard requirements.
ASTICAN operates a Syncrolift dry-docking system with lifting capacity for vessels up to 36,000 DWT and seven docking lanes. Its facilities also include workshops, repair berths and supporting infrastructure for ship repair projects.
If you are a shipowner, ship manager, vessel operator, master, technical superintendent, fleet manager or repair project manager arranging a vessel's dry dock at ASTICAN, our local agency can coordinate the shore-side requirements around the shipyard call.
The agency scope can include:
ASTICAN dry dock agency
Vessel arrival and departure coordination
The requirements can be arranged according to the vessel's dry-docking schedule and the instructions of the owner or management company.
Dry-docking projects normally involve a detailed schedule involving the vessel, shipyard, superintendent, repair contractors, class representatives and equipment manufacturers.
Our agency can be appointed before the vessel arrives in Las Palmas so that local requirements can be prepared in advance.
We can coordinate information relating to the vessel's ETA, crew movements, spare parts, technicians, surveyors, transportation, accommodation and other husbandry requirements.
This allows the shipowner or ship manager to have a local contact available before the vessel reaches ASTICAN.
Dry dock periods are frequently used for planned crew rotation.
We can coordinate crew sign-on and sign-off at Las Palmas, including airport transfers, transportation, immigration formalities, hotel accommodation and repatriation.
If additional crew members, riding squads or technical personnel need to join the vessel during the repair period, their local transportation and accommodation can also be arranged.
Dry-docking projects often generate additional spare-part requirements after inspection, dismantling or testing.
Our agency can coordinate the delivery of ship spare parts to ASTICAN, including courier shipments, air freight, local transportation and customs-related procedures.
The objective is to help ensure that urgent components reach the vessel or designated shipyard location without unnecessary local coordination by the ship's management team.
ASTICAN also maintains a dedicated storage area, including bonded storage facilities, which can be relevant for equipment and materials associated with repair projects.
International spare parts and technical equipment may arrive at Las Palmas by air or sea during the dry-docking period.
Our local agency can coordinate with the relevant logistics providers for customs, transit, transportation, warehouse handling and final delivery.
For urgent repair requirements, early notification allows the shipment to be monitored and the local delivery arrangements to be prepared around the vessel's schedule.
A dry-docking project may require several shore-based personnel to attend the vessel.
We can assist with local logistics for:
Airport reception, accommodation, transportation and local movements can be coordinated according to the project requirements.
ASTICAN's published facilities include seven docking lanes, a Syncrolift system, workshops and mobile crane capacity supporting vessels during dry-docking operations. The yard also lists mechanical works, steel works, thruster works, inspections and UWILD among its services.
Our role is not to replace the shipyard or technical contractor. We provide the local agency and logistics support surrounding the dry-dock project.
This distinction is important for shipowners and managers looking for an independent local contact to handle vessel husbandry and shore-side requirements.
Not every requirement can be identified before the vessel enters dry dock.
Additional spare parts may be required, a service engineer may need to travel to Las Palmas, a crew member may need urgent repatriation or a technical contractor may need immediate transportation.
Our agency can coordinate these additional requirements during the vessel's stay at ASTICAN.
Our dry dock agency support can continue throughout the vessel's stay in Las Palmas.
From pre-arrival planning and crew arrangements to spare parts, customs, transportation, technical personnel and departure formalities, we provide a single local agency contact for the vessel's dry-docking period.
This can be particularly useful for shipowners and ship management companies based outside Spain who require reliable local coordination while their vessel is undergoing repairs.
If your vessel is scheduled for dry docking at ASTICAN in Las Palmas, you can contact us with the vessel name, IMO number, ETA, expected dry-dock period and required services.
Our Astican Dry Dock Agency in Las Palmas is designed for shipowners, ship managers, vessel operators, masters, technical superintendents and repair project managers who need a local agent to coordinate the vessel's requirements before and during the dry-docking period.
Whether you need crew assistance, spare parts delivery, customs coordination, transportation, technical personnel support or general vessel husbandry, we can organize the local arrangements around your ASTICAN dry dock call.
