In June 2005, the consultancy company specialized in marine and port services, Bilbao Plaza Marítima, S.L., established a cooperation agreement with CINTRANAVAL-DEFCAR, S.L., splitting the company in BILBAO PLAZA MARITIMA SHIPPING and Bilbao Plaza Marítima Puertos, and incorporating the former to CINTRANAVAL GROUP.
BILBAO PLAZA MARITIMA SHIPPING focuses its services on the following fields:
- Technical, commercial and legal advising
- Auditing Servicies
- Inspections for shipowners during the construction of the vessel
- Monitoring and settlement of guaranties, not only for the owner but also for the shipyard
- Feasability and operation studies
- Preparation of Regulatory Manuals in Spanish, English and French (SOPEP, SOLAS, Fire Protection, cargo securing manual, etc... or any type of manual that may be required by the Spanish Administration, IMO or US Coast Guard)
On the other hand, BILBAO PLAZA MARITIMA SHIPPING has a broad experience as marine consultants, having done many studies and technical advisory services all over the world. It is worth underlining its contribution to Short Sea Shipping (SSS), working for some European Organizations and Port Authorities. In addition, many feasability studies of shipyards and fishing ports from South America to South East Asia have been carried out to date.
