Intense activity in the port of Cádiz started last Monday, November 29, which lasted until Wednesday, December 1. During this time, Lamaignere Shipping was responsible for dispatching a major US Navy vessel and providing it with provisioning and assistance services at all times.

For us, attention to military vessels represents one of our main activities, and we can prudently boast of this niche market. We have the knowledge, experience, and the ability to adapt to the needs of such customers who, in general, are very demanding.

Below we share photos of the ship.

Last Tuesday, November 23, representatives of Lamaignere Shipping attended the productive and thought-provoking conference ‘The future of large yachts in the Bay of Cádiz: Business opportunities from multiple perspectives’. Organized by the Port of Cadiz, the Conference was chaired by businessman Rafael Fernández, in collaboration with the port of the Bay of Cádiz, Sucruise Andalucía, the Cádiz City Council, and the Institute for Development and Employment (IFEF).

This event presented the perfect opportunity to establish new bases and business opportunities to increase megayachts’ arrivals to the city of Cádiz. Increased traffic into this area will have positive effects and benefits, not only on the city’s economy but on the region of Andalusia in general.

Below we share several photos of the event. Included is a shot of the Head of Lamaignere Shipping, Alejandro Sánchez, accompanied by one of the speakers, Francisco Notario.

Lamaignere Shipping continues with its recurrent activity in the Andalusian ports. On this occasion, we want to share several photos of a sugar unloading, which took place last Thursday, November 11. Specifically, this happened at the Muelle de la Cabezuela, located in Puerto Real (Cádiz).

Important to note that the operation of loading and unloading of goods on and off cargo ships is another of our company’s main activities.

Andalusia, and more specifically Cadiz, was honored to be designated as the location for the SailGP´s second season´s final European race. The event took place on Saturday October 9th and Sunday October 10th and it was indeed spectacular.

Lamaignere Shipping was the shipping agent that was responsible for the ship´tenders at the competition. The main role of these boats was to move spectators closer to the race´s front line for a better view of the action.

Below, we share some great photos about this boats:

Lamaignere Shipping’s acitivities at Andalusia’s main ports continues to be strong. On this occasion, we share with you various photos of the stopover of the Swedish training Ship ‘Galan’ at the port of the city of Cadiz, which took place between September 19 to the 21.

Lamaignere Shipping initiated collaboration with the port of Seville to increase the visits of mega yachts and cruises at the port by the reinitiation of the Belle de Cadix trips and welcoming the arrival of the Kaos megayacht.

The first week of September is beginning with great news for the cruise ship traffic in Andalusia. For starters, last Saturday September 4, the ‘Belle de Cadix‘ of the Croisierupe company, which is based in the Port of Seville, made its first stopover in Seville and which will later make stops in the Ports of Huelva and Cádiz before returning to Seville again on Tuesday, September 7.  Also, next Wednesday September 8, we will be receiving at the Seville port the megayacht ‘Kaos’, a luxury boat of 110 meters in length, valued at almost 300 million euros.

At Lamaignere Shipping we believe that these activities will serve as a great boosters for the high-end cruise and megayacht sector in Andalusia and will gradually help us reach pre-pandemic levels.

We also would like to thank the Diario de Huelva for mentioning Lamaignere Shipping as the consignees with regards to this news, and the Port of Huelva for their enthusiasm and collaboration on this project.

1- Enjoy a sunset on the beach of La Caleta

A 450-meter beach where boats can dock. It has a great views at sunset.

The mixture of barroque and neoclassical architectural styles make this cathedral a worthwhile site to see, even though it may not be one of the largest in Spain.

Another interesting place in Cádiz and where you can enjoy great views of the city, is the tower of Tavira.  It is one of the highest points in the city and offers spectacular views.
