Dominican Republic: IBC Shipyard Invests in Staff Training

I.B.C. Inversiones Bastilla del Caribe, is a modern shipyard of 100,000 sqft of working area including a 120 ton travel lift, a 35 ton motorized trailer and dock service up to mega yachts in its facilities, unique in the Caribbean sea situated at the Marina Chavon of Casa de Campo, the most important marina built in Dominican Republic in a Mediterranean style.

IBC Shipyard has recently invested in extensive staff training, says Fernando Flaquer. “We train our technicians in Italy as well as in the U.S. on a wide range of skills. This has allowed us to expand our services into new areas as well as to further enable our current employees to specialize in areas such as ABYC Marine Electronic Certification and esthetics and finesse in carpentry and fiber-glassing.”

IBC Shipyard has been designated an ‘AZIMUT Gold Repair and Service Center’ as well as attained a listing in the exclusive ‘Benetti Service Center Network’. VQRs (visual quality reports in the form of pictures) are sent to boat owners anywhere in the world in order to see the work being done. This service is free. Flaquer adds: “Our parts logistics service area continues to grow and we are currently building a Café with free WiFi.”
