History
The ship was laid down on 21 March 2003 at the Hijos de J. Barreras Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, and was launched on 24 September of that year. It joined the fleet of the shipping company Suardiaz under the name Suardiaz Galicia.[2]
At the end of 2020, the Spanish Navy purchased the ship from Suardiaz for a sum of 7.5 million Euros and renamed it Ysabel. The ship returned to its home port at Vigo to undergo the necessary modifications for its new role as a logistics support ship. Ysabel was acquired in order to replace the aging logistics ships <i>El Camino Español</i> and <i>Martín Posadillo</i> which were recently decommissioned.[2] On 2 June 2021, the ship was commissioned into the Spanish Navy in Cartagena.[1]
In April 2022, Ysabel was sent to Poland with supplies and weapons for Ukraine following the 2022 Russian invasion.[3] In February 2023, the ship cruised to the Canary Islands, moving military material between Tenerife and Gran Canaria.[4]
