STP Shipyard Palma, currently one of the largest shipyards in Europe, started the year with one of the most important moves to date in the Balearics. The lifting and accommodating of S/Y Hetairos in STP. This beautiful classic sailing yacht of almost 67 meters in length with a Cayman Islands flag, which has participated in numerous international regattas with remarkable performance, chose STP’s facilities to do its refit and maintenance works.

Over the course of about 6 hours and 12 people involved in the manouevre, including divers, sailors, travelift managers and safety staff, S/Y Hetairos was hoisted with the largest travelift STP hasavailable, allowing lifting up to 700 tons. This activity was coordinated with great accuracy thanks to STP’s team of professionals, which allowed the manouevre to take place with great skill placing it into the pit where the yacht was received into her shoring and accommodation place.

Once S/Y Hetairos was properly installed and moored into the pit in water, the divers were in charge of joining the slings to lift the boat. From there, the travelift staff were responsible for the manouevre of lifting and carrying S/Y Hetairos from water to its space ashore.

All movements were recorded by different cameras strategically placed to keep track of all the details of the lifting and shoring maneuver of S/Y Hetairos, and we invite you to see it summarized in three minutes:
