History

The origins of Navantia go back to the year 1730, as in Ferrol, Cartagena and San Fernando shipyards for the construction and maintenance of the Spanish Navy emerged. Between 1909 and 1939, the most important Spanish shipyards were as Sociedad Española de Construcción Naval ( SECN ) united owned by the British company Vickers and John Brown & Company. After the Spanish Civil War, both the military shipbuilding, under the name Bazán, as well as the civilian, named Astilleros Españoles ( AESA ), were nationalized. In 2000, both sectors were merged under the name IZAR was the second largest shipyard in Europe. The civil shipbuilding suffered at that time, however, under the pressure of cheaper production in Asian countries and plunged the company into a major financial crisis. In 2005, the Spanish government decided to the well-functioning military shipbuilding secede again, he went on in Navantia, while the civil shipyards were privatized or liquidated.
