Spanish manufacturer Rodman marked 50 years in building boats at a special event held at their shipyard in Vigo. Rodman’s founder and president Manuel Rodriguez addressed guests, saying, “This anniversary sets a milestone in our history and reaffirms our commitment to continue building vessels that blend innovation, quality, and respect for the environment, with our focus on a sustainable and competitive future in the shipbuilding industry. We are also working on the digitalisation of design and production processes and on research into advanced materials to improve the performance and durability of the vessels.”
Having built over 15,000 vessels over 50 years, Rodman have become the longest standing Spanish company of their kind, supplying both commercial and recreational vessels to over 65 countries! Future projects include hybrid powered craft, new patrol boats with heliports of up to 50 metres in length and the design of state-of-the-art yachts and mega yachts.
Ben Stevens from RBS Marine, UK importers for Rodman Boats, speaking at the event told PBR, “We have been involved with Rodman for 20 of their 50 years in boat building, and we couldn’t be happier to see them reach this milestone. We have seen many wonderful boats come from the shipyard, through us and on to families in the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands that have had fabulous boating adventures, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with this quality brand as they conquer new seas”.
