Astonishing Achievement in Yacht Servicing: VMG Astilleros Installs World’s Largest Shiplift Drydock

Tucked in Sagunto, Spain, lies VMG Astilleros — a name making waves in the maritime industry. The latest development for this established Mediterranean shipyard is a feather in the cap — installing the world’s largest yacht-dedicated shiplift drydock. A significant extension of VMG’s strategic modernisation and expansion initiative, this milestone has fundamentally elevated their capability to service the crème de la crème of water vessels — superyachts, megayachts, and gigayachts.

The imposing Pearlson Shiplift system, a masterpiece designed by Pearlson Shiplift Corporation (PSC), features a lifting platform of 102 metres length and 22 metres width, capable of taking under its wings yachts up to 125 metres long. An amalgamation of advanced structural engineering and PSC’s proprietary continuous platform structure ensures this platform operates as a single entity, demonstrating exceptional structural integrity and preciseness.

Herralding a major evolution in VMG’s shipyard infrastructure, this newly installed shiplift announces VMG’s facility as the current record-holder for the biggest yacht-dedicated shiplift drydock globally.

The power-packed, remodelled facility also boasts of considerable hardstand capacity, further solidifying VMG Astilleros de Sagunto’s dominance as a premium superyacht refit spot in the azure Mediterranean.

With this monumental move, VMG Astilleros de Sagunto cements itself into a global network encircling more than 280 shiplifts in over 70 countries, all backed by the engineering prowess and enduring service commitment from The Pearlson Group.

VMG Astilleros de Sagunto is a leading full-service re-fit and repair shipyard for superyachts. The firm offers a grand 76,800 square metres of hardstanding area, sophisticated lifting capabilities, and a geographic advantage of direct access to the Mediterranean.

This substantial investment in infrastructure and capabilities heralds a new era that underscores VMG as a significant refit hub in the picturesque Western Mediterranean.
