When a vessel is scheduled to enter Zamakona Shipyard in Las Palmas, shipowners, ship managers, operators and technical superintendents need more than a standard port call agent. A shipyard period can involve repairs, maintenance, spare parts, crew changes, technical attendance, inspections, customs clearance, deliveries, transportation and numerous local arrangements. Our Zamakona Shipyard Agency in Las Palmas service is designed to provide a single local agency contact throughout the vessel's shipyard stay.

Zamakona Yards has a long-established presence in the Canary Islands and operates its Las Palmas facilities at the Dársena Exterior of the Port of Las Palmas. The group provides ship repair, conversion, maintenance and related marine services, making Las Palmas an important location for vessels requiring planned or urgent technical work.

Shipyard Agency Services for Zamakona Calls

A shipyard call is different from a conventional commercial port call. The vessel may remain in the yard for several days or weeks, while multiple contractors, technicians, surveyors, suppliers and crew members are involved in the project.

Our agency coordinates the local requirements associated with the vessel's stay at Zamakona, including:

• Pre-arrival shipyard agency coordination
• Vessel arrival and departure formalities
• Port and shipyard documentation
• Crew change and crew transportation
• Immigration and transit formalities
• Cash to Master services
• Spare parts delivery
• Customs clearance
• Courier and express deliveries
• Technical personnel transportation
• Hotel and accommodation arrangements
• Medical assistance
• Provisions and ship stores
• Launch and local transportation coordination
• Surveyor and superintendent attendance
• Shipyard-related husbandry services

The exact agency scope can be adapted according to the vessel's repair project and the requirements of the shipowner or ship manager.

Pre-Arrival Agency Support for Zamakona Shipyard

Effective preparation before the vessel reaches Las Palmas can significantly simplify the shipyard period. We coordinate with the vessel's master, ship manager, superintendent, shipyard representatives and other designated parties to establish the expected arrival schedule and agency requirements.

Information such as vessel ETA, crew list, planned repairs, spare parts shipments, riding squads, technicians, surveyors and expected deliveries can be reviewed in advance.

This allows local arrangements to be prepared before the vessel arrives at Zamakona.

Ship Repair and Maintenance Agency Support

During a repair period, the vessel may require continuous local assistance. Technical teams can arrive at different times, spare parts may be shipped from several countries and additional materials may be required after the work has started.

Our agency can coordinate local logistics for ship repair and maintenance projects, including transportation, documentation, deliveries and communication with relevant local parties.

Where urgent materials or components are required, we can assist with the coordination of ship spare parts delivery to Zamakona Shipyard in Las Palmas, including local transportation and customs-related arrangements.

Ship Spare Parts and Customs Clearance

Spare parts logistics can become one of the most time-sensitive elements of a shipyard project. Parts may arrive by air freight, courier or other transportation methods and need to reach the vessel without unnecessary delay.

Our agency can coordinate the receipt, local handling, customs clearance and delivery of ship spare parts and technical materials according to the vessel's requirements.

We can also coordinate transportation between the airport, customs location, warehouse, shipyard and vessel.

Crew Change During Zamakona Shipyard Stay

Crew changes frequently take place while vessels are undergoing repairs. Crew members may sign off before the repair period begins, while replacement crew may join during or toward the end of the project.

Our crew change services in Las Palmas can be integrated into the shipyard agency operation, including airport transfers, transportation, immigration coordination, accommodation and repatriation.

This gives the ship manager one local contact for both shipyard-related agency requirements and crew movements.

Technical Personnel and Riding Squad Logistics

Shipyard projects may involve riding squads, service engineers, technicians, inspectors, surveyors and representatives of equipment manufacturers.

We can coordinate local transportation, airport reception, hotel accommodation and movement between the airport, hotel, shipyard and vessel.

For international technical teams, advance coordination of travel and local requirements can help reduce delays during the repair period.

Husbandry Services During Shipyard Repairs

A vessel staying at Zamakona may continue to require normal husbandry services throughout the repair period.

Our agency can coordinate provisions, stores, cash to master, crew transportation, medical assistance, communications, local transportation and other vessel requirements.

The objective is to support the vessel not only when it arrives at the shipyard, but throughout the complete repair and maintenance period.

Emergency Shipyard Agency Support

Repair projects do not always proceed exactly according to the original schedule. Additional work, technical findings, equipment problems or urgent spare parts requirements can change the vessel's plans.

When an unexpected requirement arises, our local agency can coordinate the necessary shore-side arrangements and communicate with the vessel, ship manager, superintendent and relevant suppliers.

For urgent crew movements, medical assistance, spare parts deliveries or transportation requirements, rapid local coordination can be arranged according to the circumstances.

Agency Support for Commercial and Special Vessels

Our Zamakona shipyard agency services can support a wide range of vessels, including container vessels, bulk carriers, tankers, general cargo vessels, offshore vessels, support vessels, fishing vessels, multipurpose vessels and other specialized ships.

Zamakona and Semco Maritime also announced the launch of Las Palmas Shipyard in 2026, combining their capabilities for rig, offshore and special vessel upgrade, maintenance and repair projects. This further expands the range of shipyard-related operations for which coordinated local agency and logistics support may be required.
