Vigo, Students from the Fishing and Maritime Institute of the Atlantic in Vigo,
will visit the Ibercisa Deck Machinery factory tomorrow 7th February as part of
their training. The Company which designs and manufactures naval machinery,
with headquarters in Vigo since 1969 and with a considerable export activity
and an international profile and projection will open its doors in a bid to teach
students from this educational centre and future fishing sector employees,
about the latest advances in deck machinery technology.

Ibercisa Deck Machinery employs highly qualified technical engineers and
designers of mechanical, hydraulic and electric machinery and develops its own
technology hand in hand with its clients.

Among which certain international companies stand out such as Svitzer, Vale
Rio Doce, Fishermen's Finest, McDermott International, Inc., Fairplay,
Parlevlient and world renowned shipyards such as Armón, Damen,
Karstensens, Sefine, Uzmar and Tersan among others. The company works
with finite software elements, fatigue control software and real trials which are
carried out in its factory. It also controls the whole manufacturing process,
allowing it to carry out product measurement with performance adapted to
individual customer requirements.

The students visiting are from the Fishing Captains faculty and they will be able
to see at first hand, and in situ, the whole process of design and manufacture of
machinery and how it works and operates on board; this last phase by a film
showing one of the most modern boats of the European fleet "Ruth", a pelagic
trawler supplied with Ibercisa deck machinery.

Apart from the fishing sector, Ibercisa Deck Machinery designs and
manufactures deck equipment for tug boats, AHT vessels, oceanographics,
merchant vessels, Navy boats and has taken part in various civil engineering
projects.
