STP Shipyard Palma (Servicios Técnicos Portuarios)

Open-yard refit and repair facility in the port of Palma run by IPM Group, where owners and captains pick their own contractors from the companies based on site. It handles high volumes of haul-outs, from small yachts to superyachts on its 1,000 t travelift, and is mid-way through a roughly EUR 8m expansion to 162,000 m2 with five new berths for yachts up to 110 m.
