Marine technology since 1964
Deck machinery for every kind of vessel.
We design and build cranes, davits, LARS, winches and tailor-made handling systems for civil and naval fleets worldwide.
Our history
Over 60 years building deck systems.
In 1964, Ricardo Fernández, a Fishing Captain and Naval Engineer, spotted a critical gap in the maritime sector: the absence of high-quality on-deck equipment aboard his own vessel. In response, he founded a workshop dedicated to perfecting deck-mobility systems. His innovations quickly caught the attention of the fishing fleet, giving rise to what FERRI is today.

Markets
Solutions for every kind of vessel.
From polar research ships to Atlantic tuna fleets, FERRI tailors each piece of equipment to the real demands of the operation.
- Workboats We offer a comprehensive catalogue of equipment specifically designed to meet the most rigorous demands of workboats, including tugboats, dredgers and pontoons. Our product range encompasses both electric and hydraulic winches, as well as mooring and anchoring winches, constant tension winches, windlasses, traction winches, and towing and escort winches.
- Oceanographic In the world of marine research, the technology and deck machinery for oceanographic vessels, seismic ships and other scientific vessels are essential elements for the success of operations in challenging environments. Ocean exploration involves not only a deep understanding of marine ecosystems, but also the need for robust, reliable equipment that ensures the safety and effectiveness of missions. To that end, we offer a wide range of solutions designed to meet the most demanding requirements of ocean research.
- Fishing FERRI's track record in the fishing sector is built on the manufacture of snatch blocks and rigging components, critical parts where reliability and robustness make all the difference. Today we lead the market by evolving traditional handling towards Fishing 4.0.
- Cruise Ships Deck equipment for cruise ships: Innovation and customisation
- Oil&Gas Deck equipment for Oil & Gas vessels: innovation and safety.
- Defense Industrias FERRI designs and manufactures high-precision deck machinery for naval defense. From aircraft carriers and frigates to patrol boats and hospital vessels, our equipment — cranes, LARS, davits, ladders and multi-mission systems — operates in the most demanding conditions.
- Offshore Wind The growing demand for sustainability in the energy industry has driven up both the cost and the complexity of fossil-fuel extraction. Against this backdrop, offshore wind is one of the fastest-growing sectors, where FERRI stands out worldwide for its naval expertise and innovative anti-corrosion treatments — a critical challenge for these ocean installations.
- Megayachts Developing solutions from your ideas and needs is our greatest challenge — and our driving motivation.
- Industrial FERRI extends its commitment to industry beyond the boundaries of the maritime sector. Through our technical team, we transfer the experience acquired in the development of marine equipment to a range of different areas where extreme working conditions and hostile environments are the key factor.
