Rafael de Gabriel García, Commercial Director of FCC Ámbito – Gamasur, has personally examined the exclusive amphibious technology and machinery of Nautilus Dragados Marítimos, following a series of working meetings aimed at exploring potential future collaborations on environmental projects.
Nautilus Dragados Marítimos continues to attract interest from major business groups in the environmental and industrial services sectors, thanks to its innovative working methods, specialized technology, and commitment to a new generation of sustainable dredging.
On this occasion, the company’s facilities at the Port of Málaga hosted a visit from Mr. Rafael de Gabriel García, Commercial Director of FCC Ámbito – Gamasur, as part of the ongoing discussions and meetings between the two companies to explore potential avenues for collaboration.
The visit marks a further step in the growing alignment between the two organizations and provided an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into one of Nautilus’s core defining features: its unique amphibious dredging machinery and environmental intervention systems, developed for operation in complex aquatic environments with a focus on efficiency, sustainability, and the reduction of environmental impact.
The interest of large corporate groups in a different kind of technology
The visit by FCC Ámbito stems from the interest its representatives have shown in the technical capabilities, specialized equipment, and work methodologies of Nautilus Dragados Marítimos.
Following several preliminary meetings, this encounter has made it possible to go beyond technical presentations and gain firsthand insight into the operational capabilities of a unique piece of machinery—one designed for use in projects where conventional dredging methods may face significant limitations.
Among the key areas in which both companies are exploring potential collaboration opportunities are:
- Regeneration of aquatic substrates: environmental restoration of marine, port, and inland water bottoms affected by the accumulation of sediments.
- Sediment extraction and management: controlled removal of sludge, accumulated materials, and deposits that affect hydraulic infrastructure and aquatic ecosystems.
- Sustainable dredging: execution of operations using specialized systems designed to minimize environmental impact and optimize resources.
- Recovery of degraded spaces: actions aimed at improving the environmental and operational conditions of ports, canals, reservoirs and other bodies of water.
For Nautilus Dragados Marítimos, the visit from FCC Ámbito represents an acknowledgment of the potential of its technological solutions and an opportunity to further develop business relationships with top-tier companies.
Francisco Manen, CEO of Nautilus Dragados Marítimos, has spoken positively about the meeting:
“The fact that a company of the scale of FCC Ámbito shows interest in seeing our machinery and work systems firsthand is a very positive sign. Our focus has always been on developing unique solutions capable of addressing complex environmental challenges through specialized technology and more sustainable procedures.”
“We believe that the future of our sector lies in innovation and in collaboration between companies that can contribute complementary capabilities. We are convinced that our technology has much to offer in projects involving environmental regeneration, dredging, and the restoration of aquatic substrates.”
Nautilus continues to expand its business reach
This meeting is part of the growth and positioning strategy of Nautilus Dragados Marítimos, which continues to maintain contact with major operators, public entities, and specialized firms interested in incorporating new technologies into their projects.
The visit from FCC Ámbito reinforces an increasingly evident reality: innovation developed in Málaga is attracting the attention of major players in the environmental sector.
Nautilus Dragados Marítimos continues to advance toward its goal of becoming a benchmark for sustainable dredging solutions, aquatic seabed regeneration, and environmental restoration—demonstrating that technological specialization can open up new opportunities for collaboration with some of the leading companies in the market.
