The Offshore sector
In the offshore sector, the Santa Cruz de Tenerife port has become a centre for repairing platforms in the Atlantic, keeping an average of 3-4 platforms moored in the port. Growing demand in this sector has favoured the development of a ship repair sector that is currently undergoing expansion. The development of the repair activity and services demanded by the offshore companies, therefore, constitute a good option for investing and doing business on the island.
