MTU and MB'92 enter into agreement

The German propulsion solution specialist MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH and the Spanish repair shipyard Marina Barcelona 92 (MB92) have signed a cooperation agreement. Under the agreement MB92 will undertake maintenance and refit work on all MTU engines fitted on board visiting superyachts. Consequently MTU will establish a dedicated office within MB92.

Commenting on the agreement a spokesperson for MTU said:

"MTU is intensifying its cooperation with refit shipyards like MB92 to provide first level support on-site with a proactive service and assistance as well as a close link to captains and chief engineers for fast assessment of a yacht's propulsion system. In Spain, Barcelona is MTU’s hub for yacht service, especially for superyachts."

MB92 is currently the subject of a large-scale expansion, which will eventually see its capacity grow to a total surface of 76,000 square metres. Apart from buildings, workshops and repair docks, new facilities will incorporate a new float docking repair area for four yachts up to 200m in length, a dry dock for yachts up to 210m and an additional Syncrolift with a total capacity of 4,000 tonnes. The work is due to be completed at the end of 2013.
