Murueta Shipyards / Astilleros de Murueta
(www.astillerosmurueta.com)
Is a privately owned company established in 1943 and
dedicated to the design and construction of all type
of vessels. The company has two production facilities
near the city of Bilbao (Northern Spain): the Muru-
eta shipyard in the river of Gernika, and the Erandio
shipyard in the river of Bilbao. During over 70 years
of activity, Murueta has designed and built over 300
vessels: fishing vessels, general cargo and container
vessels, roll on / roll off vessels, reefers, AHTS offshore
vessels, cutter dredgers, trailing suction hopper
dredgers, coastguard patrol boats, fuel bunkering ves-
sels and tugboats. Murueta has its own design team
capable to perform complete engineering projects,
including conceptual design, naval architecture, steel
basic engineering, outfitting, piping and electricity en-
gineering and 3D modelling CAD-CAM software detail
engineering. With the commitment and confidence that
only the use of the most advanced technology and
the most highly qualified work force can guarantee the
achievement of the most efficient and optimum vessel
for each owner.
