Navantia

Navantia S.A. is a Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company that designs, builds, maintains and upgrades ships and related platforms for naval and offshore markets. It operates a network of shipyards and engineering facilities in Spain and maintains international operations through subsidiaries and partnerships. The group is owned by the Spanish state through SEPI (Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales).

Navantia traces its origins to the Spanish state shipyards and was reorganized as Navantia in the early 2000s as part of a broader restructuring of state-owned industry. Its corporate offices are in Madrid, with major production sites in Ferrol (Galicia), Cartagena (Murcia) and Puerto Real (Cádiz).

In naval construction, Navantia is known for combatants such as the Álvaro de Bazán-class frigates (F-100) for the Spanish Navy and the Juan Carlos I, a multifunctional aircraft carrier and command ship delivered in 2010. The company also produces patrol vessels, amphibious ships and submarines through national and international collaborations, and it participates in multinational programs via its international arm, including Navantia Australia and the Scorpene submarine program collaborations.

Beyond shipbuilding, Navantia provides engineering, integration, maintenance and life-cycle support for offshore energy assets, including offshore platforms and wind farm foundations, and pursues civil-maritime projects in modernization and conversion, supported by its international partnerships and diversified engineering capabilities.
