Shipyards

Colombia is distinguished by its significant export platform, with the city of Cartagena handling 25% of national port traffic and 50% of the cargo volume in the Caribbean. Furthermore, Cartagena offers a substantial array of Industrial Parks, Free Trade Zones, and Ports, which are integrated with the more than 750 companies forming the shipbuilding value chain, along with 12 naval repair workshops in the region.

Cartagena undoubtedly becomes the ideal space for investment in the shipbuilding and maritime sector, boasting numerous competitive advantages in economic, labor, and legal terms. Join us to explore all the benefits that the Shipbuilding Industry presents in the Bolívar Department.
