Shipyard
 
 
The shipyard is located on the foreshores of the mighty Subic Bay Port which was home to the US Navy over the past hundred years. Subic Bay was once the largest military base outside of the United States. The harbor offers safe mooring to ships under all weather conditions. The base has now been transformed into an industrial "Free Port Zone". Security is monitored around the clock.

Historically, the OPSI yard accommodated the US Navy ships repair facility for aircraft carriers, battleships, submarines and patrol vessels. The fabrication and assembly building, known as "Building 41" on "Bravo Wharf" covers a floor area of 300 ft x 140 ft (92 meters x 43 meters). The high central bay is fitted with overhead cranes of 25 and 5 ton capacity. The head room under the crane is 12 meters.

OPSI can build two super yachts concurrently to a maximum combined length of 90 meters. The main assembly bay is fitted with large doors at each end to allow finished yachts to be transported, on multi-wheel cradles, onto the adjacent deepwater wharf for launching. The main area is complemented on either side by smaller "bays". All work is carried out within the building until launching.
