CATMAR marine technical service in Barcelona
CATMAR works on marine engines, propulsion and generators with a practical approach: gather the relevant information, define the scope clearly and check the outcome of the completed work.
Workshop and onboard service operating from Port Balís and Port Esportiu del Masnou.
CATMAR supports owners, captains, crew and marine businesses that need a clear technical response. Work may cover diagnostics, planned maintenance, repairs, propulsion, generators and electrical or electronic systems directly associated with the intervention.
Some checks need to be carried out with the equipment installed. Other tasks require workshop facilities, dismantling, parts or prior coordination. The appropriate location is defined after reviewing the equipment, access and requested work.
Marine engines
Diagnostics, maintenance and repair according to the make, installation and confirmed scope.
Propulsion
Review of systems associated with the engine and planned work on the installation where relevant.
Marine generators
Diagnostics, maintenance and repair of mechanical, electrical and control systems within the confirmed capability.
Workshop and onboard
Work is organised at a CATMAR location or onboard according to access, dismantling, testing and equipment requirements.
How we work
Clarity before, during and after the job
Useful information
Location, make, model if known, operational status, symptoms, alarms and relevant history establish the starting point.
Scope review
CATMAR identifies missing information and the appropriate next step. A single alarm is not presented as a complete diagnosis.
Quotation and authorisation
The submitted information helps CATMAR assess the request. If an inspection or technical diagnosis is required, CATMAR will state its cost in advance. Work proceeds after the relevant quotation is accepted.
Intervention
Work is completed within the authorised scope. Any additional requirement is raised before that scope is extended.
Checks
Checks are adapted to the intervention and the safe conditions available.

Workshop and onboard service
Two locations, one technical entry point
CATMAR operates from Port Balís and Port Esportiu del Masnou. From these locations, it organises workshop work and onboard attendance when the intervention, access and planning allow.
Port Esportiu del Masnou
An operational CATMAR location at Local 31.
Barcelona is an important market and service area, not a CATMAR city-centre location.
Team
Technical judgement and coordination
CATMAR’s work combines mechanical judgement, an understanding of the installation and coordination with the person responsible for the vessel or project.
CATMAR technical team
A team focused on marine engines, propulsion and generators, working in the workshop and onboard according to the intervention.
Support for marine professionals
Specialist technical input within coordinated work
CATMAR can provide engine, propulsion and generator support within work coordinated by captains, chief engineers, boatbuilders, after-sales teams, yacht managers, agents and marine companies. Scope, access and communication are defined for each request.
Coverage
Barcelona as a market; the Maresme as an operating base
CATMAR reviews work in Barcelona, the Maresme and selected Catalan ports, subject to the intervention, access and planning. Providing the vessel location helps CATMAR confirm the appropriate option.
