• The present paper tries to show the implementation of a dry dock in La Luz y Las Palmas port and the improvements that it will bring not only in infrastructure but also in other social and economic aspects of the Canary Islands. In the first part of this project, we have made a small revision to the history of the shipyards, the most important shipyards of Canary Islands and Astilleros Canarios S.A. At the second part of this project, we inquire more about the different elements of a dry dock, and the different infrastructures it has, we will also know how to beach a ship thanks to the interview of different professionals dedicated to the sector. Finally, we will see the results section where we will talk about the construction and exploitation of the dry dock.
