Hidramar Group has taken delivery of Hidramar Ultra 22000, a new floating dock built by Huarun Dadong Dockyard in China for operation at Tenerife Shipyards in the Canary Islands.
Classed by Lloyd’s Register, Hidramar Ultra 22000 was built to support repairs and refits for medium-sized vessels up to Panamax size. The dock is 240 m long, 48 m wide and has a pontoon height of 4.7 m. Its lifting capacity is 22,000 tonnes.
Construction started in January 2025 and was completed in September 2026. The dock is scheduled to enter service in the mid-Atlantic region from June 2026, serving vessels calling at the Canary Islands.
According to Tenerife Shipyards, the new asset will expand its ability to handle larger and more complex vessels that require dedicated repair infrastructure. The company said the dock will improve drydocking flexibility, shorten repair and maintenance turnaround times, and support compliance with safety standards.
The dock is designed to carry out work on propulsion systems, shaft lines, electrical power systems and automation systems, as well as mechanical, structural and steel renewal jobs. It can lift vessels of up to 22,000 tonnes in as little as 120 minutes and is fitted with two cranes rated at 21 t and 10 t.
The design also includes energy-efficient pumps and reduced water displacement systems intended to limit environmental impact. Its modular arrangement allows future adaptation and expansion in line with demand and market requirements.
