Barreras has excellent and extensive facilities in the Ria de Vigo that are capable and very versatile, practically in the city's maritime center. In total it has 120,000 m2, with two main steps up to 190 m in length and 50 m in total manfga, as well as a port of 120 × 17 m and an arms dock on a length of 425 m.

Since 1892, Sons of J. Barreras has marked a style of his own that has been reinforced in time. The largest private naval builder in Spain keeps the vocation and passion for the shipbuilding forged with its first wooden sailboats unalterable at the end of the 19th century. A technology-oriented work. A reliable shipyard capable of responding to the challenges of an extremely demanding sector. With a specialized staff and in continuous training.

Its more than 120 years of history by designing and building ships make Barreras a well-known world leader for the design and construction of technologically advanced and high value-added ships. Ferries, Ro-Ro or offshore vessels, along with the fishing sector, are some of the segments in which the Galician signature has been consolidated as one of the major international references.

In all this time Barreras has delivered more than 1,600 ships. Many of them are pioneers in design, construction or equipment. And all, distinguished with the most demanding rules of technical and environmental control. Shipowners around the world demonstrate Barreras' technological solvency and strict compliance in delivery times.

The production ecosystem of a shipyard involves suppliers of raw materials, design engineering, technology, advanced industrial processes and the own value-added generating activities.

At the end of 2013, the Mexican group Pemex, located among the four major oil companies in the world, acquired 51% of Barreras' shares through its subsidiary PMI. The arrival of this socio-industrial meaning, which exploits one of the largest fleets on the planet, has brought greater solvency and versatility to the shipyard at a key moment in its history.

With a solid order portfolio and a strengthened capacity to meet the new challenges of the future, Barreras remains a century later faithful to the same entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that marked its origins. Reliable, capable and technologically advanced, always meeting the customer's needs. This is how the Vigo shipyard was born and grew. And so he faces the future.
