Home » Video: Inside Navantia Ferrol Shipyard Building Spain’s New F-110 Frigates

This video is an inside look at Navantia historic Ferrol shipyard in Galicia, Spain, showcasing how the facility has modernized its infrastructure to handle high-rate production for modern naval defense projects, most notably the F-110 frigate program.

Guided by Naval News and Navantia Ferrol representatives, the video breaks down the shipyard’s transition into a digitalized, high-tech naval production hub through several key segments:

  • Shipyard Overview & Modernization: Eduardo Dobarro, the shipyard’s director, introduces the site’s rich history—which dates back to the mid-1700s—and explains how it has been fully upgraded to support large-scale frigate programs at an accelerated pace.
  • The Shipyard Digital Twin: The video highlights Navantia’s advanced “Digital Twin” system. This virtual, data-driven replica of the shipyard and the ships being built allows engineers and managers to simulate, monitor, and optimize every phase of construction in real time, significantly boosting efficiency and reducing errors.
  • Slipways & F-110 Frigate Production: Raul Rico, the shipyard’s production manager, provides a tour of the facility’s three massive slipways. This segment focuses on the current state of the Spanish Navy’s F-110 frigate program, showing how the physical assembly of these advanced multi-mission surface combatants is managed.
  • The Digital Block Factory: The tour explores a brand-new, monumental facility measuring 500 meters long and 90 meters wide. This dedicated “Digital Block Factory” utilizes automated workflows and advanced manufacturing technologies to pre-fabricate massive ship sections (blocks) before they are moved to the slipways for final assembly.
