Excellence in shipbuilding

Freire Shipyard’s history dates back to 1895, when Paulino Freire founded the shipyard in Vigo, Spain. Four generations later, and after more than 130 years of uninterrupted activity, the Freire family continues to lead the company. We remain guided by the same values that have defined our trajectory from the beginning: quality and commitment in every detail.

Since the 1960s, we have built more than 300 steel and steel-aluminium vessels, exporting them to clients in over 30 countries. Our competitiveness lies in our ability to develop complex, cutting-edge vessel designs and construction projects, while maintaining a strong capacity to adapt and customise each project to the specific needs of our clients.

Our technical team combines experience, innovation, and state-of-the-art technology to deliver tailor-made solutions in oceanographic vessels, tall ships, luxury yachts, fishing vessels, aquaculture support vessels, patrol boats, and offshore units for the oil and gas industry, among others. We are firmly committed to sustainability, efficiency, and construction excellence, offering a comprehensive service from naval architecture and marine engineering design, through construction, to commissioning.

We look to the future with the same determination that has guided us since 1895: we will continue building unique vessels, ready to sail toward new horizons and meet the challenges of tomorrow.
