the island. When asked if business has increased recently in Spain Tracey Miller says, “As the volume of boats in operation has increased (both private and commercial) the Spanish marinas and shipyards have responded by increasing capacity (to provide space to haul out larger /higher tonnage vessels) and adapted their infrastructure to make them a serious contender for owners, captains and project managers. The surge in business has enabled many of the shipyards to develop the quality of workmanship and provision of services has improved in recent years.”
So if Spain is on the up and up which countries are losing out? At Cabbs Brendon Jost is not so sure. “But I would say probably France may have lost a bit, I have heard that their laws are making it less attractive for boats to do work there, again that’s just hearsay I can’t confirm that. I would also say that as the installations are becoming bigger and bigger here then areas
like northern Europe would be losing a bit of the smaller refit contracts probably just due to the location of Palma and not having to travel so far north to do the work.”
Following their 25th anniversary celebrations last year, MB92 has been busy in a number of areas, all aimed at providing clients comprehensive service. Work continues at pace on their 4000t Shiplift which is due to be completed in 2019.

TOWERS Mediterranean Cooling Towers was set up in 2010 to provide for a growing demand, for an economical, bespoke recycled cooling system that looked after each vessel’s individual needs. They replace the job of saltwater at sea when the yachts are out of the water in the shipyard allowing for the whole boat’s system such as refrigeration, air-conditioning and AV to continue functioning as if normal. Induced draught evaporative cooling towers are an efficient, eco-friendly, healthy option for keeping vessels in normal operating mode when not afloat. It is possible to introduce treatment chemicals to remove any stubborn calcium. For more details Tel: +34 667 047 256 or visit

launched over the last 3 years at over 100m in length, the MB92 group believes it is now positioned as a global refit centre able to cater to every client need now and into the future.
If ever there was someone we could ask about who is losing out to Spain it is MB92. They believe, “France and Italy are the two main locations currently losing strength in the refit and repair market, not only because of Spain’s gain but also because of the recently implemented regulations and taxes.” They add, “Industrial ports or shipyards with less activity and industry around its facilities are losing clients searching for easy logistic
