STP Shipyard Palma was one of the key yachting facilities visited in the framework of the ICOMIA/IFBSO Congress 2025, held from 25 to 29 May in Mallorca and organised by the Spanish Association of Yachting Companies, with the collaboration of the Ministry of Enterprise, Employment and Energy through the Balearic Island Regional Development Agency.
The event was attended by leaders of the global yachting industry, members of the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) and the International Federation of Boat Show Organisers (IFBSO).
With a view to showcasing the might of the Balearic yachting industry and anchoring Palma's position as a strategic global destination for yachting, participants visited STP Shipyard Palma after a day of conferences as one of the programme's technical stops.
During the meeting at STP, held on Wednesday 28 May, attendees enjoyed an informal lunch with a paella cooking show, at which they exchanged impressions and networked with a selection of superyacht captains invited especially for the occasion.
Subsequently, Carlos Albons, Project Manager at STP, accompanied the group on a guided tour of the facilities, highlighting the technical capabilities of STP and its unique open management model, a benchmark in the Mediterranean refit & repair industry.
"It was a very positive visit. We were able to show everyone how STP operates from a technical and practical perspective. We’re sure that this visit will bolster future international partnerships", explained José Luis Fayos, Head of the Technical Department and International Expansion at the Spanish Association of Yachting Companies".
"This type of meeting allows us to continue positioning STP and the Balearic yachting industry as a yardstick for quality, innovation and technical capacity on an international level", said Joan Rosselló, Manager of STP Shipyard Palma.
The tour of STP was part of a broader programme combining technical sessions, networking activities and professional visits to first-class yachting facilities on the island.
