Lürssen has opened a service centre in Tarragona for large motor and sailing yachts. The facility offers a workshop, spare parts and technical support – including for yachts built by other shipyards.
Lürssen has opened a service centre in Port Tarraco, Tarragona, Spain. The site features a workshop and meeting rooms, supplies spare parts and serves as a permanent point of contact for yachts requiring maintenance and technical support.
With this new facility, the shipyard is responding to the ongoing demand for its globally active service team for large motor and sailing yachts. Many of these assignments take place in the Balearic Islands. Skippers, chief engineers and crew members can now bring parts and components to Tarragona and coordinate maintenance work and technical retrofits directly with Lürssen and its suppliers.
“With our own base in the Mediterranean, we can provide more intensive support for our fleet and other yachts too,” says York Ilgner, Managing Director of Lürssen Shipyard Hamburg.
Lürssen workshop also open to partner companies
Partner companies can use the facility to contribute their expertise in refit and repair work and carry out work in the workshop themselves. Decisions are to be made on site in consultation with the crew and the owner’s representatives. The workshop and meeting rooms are also available for inspections and technical assessments.
The service is explicitly aimed at yachts from other shipyards as well. “Our doors are open to everyone,” says Noel Bandholtz, Head of Services at Lürssen. “We are equipped to resolve issues directly on site.”
Lürssen already has a network of suppliers in the region which, according to the company, has proven its worth even when dealing with last-minute requests.
