The works carried out in Isla Cristina (Huelva), corresponding to a station Boat School National Center for Maritime Training, under the Social Marine Institute. It is the second such installation in Spain, the first is in Villagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra.

The construction was executed by a grant from the Public Ports Agency of Andalusia, which has given ground. In the nave stands an area used for storage and services as well as a station on metal structure that will house a boat free fall, gravity and other latest rescue davit. They are elements of support for the practical classes of survival rescue boats.

These works have been conducted before the need for a station and that was much smaller than a few years ago, which was in dry dock at the port works to expand the boarding area, pledging to give the port agency another space.

The principal maritime training, Jose Carlos Macias, reported that "Spain has stations pot indoors, this may be the only one to give directly to the port, the sea," he added.
