The purpose of this article is to understand a specific variant of the Spanish shipbuilding policies in Asia during the early Modern period: the attempts to transfer the shipbuilding industry from the Philippines, where it was based since almost the beginning of the Spanish occupation of that Archipelago, to different foreign maritime regions in the Southern Pacific. Important studies on the Spanish presence in the Philippines have mentioned a few of these episodes, but their significance for the Spanish shipbuilding industry in that region, and for the Spanish Pacific system as a whole, remains undiscussed. It demonstrates that the motivation behind these policies did not obey a single cause, but rather reflected specific strategic mercantile and military contexts, among which State-intervention, private interest, and violent social unrest played a prominent role. This interpretation is based on existing historiography and the examination of first-hand sources still unused to this day.

本文的目的是了解近代早期西班牙在亚洲的造船政策的一个特定变体：试图从菲律宾转移造船业的尝试，菲律宾是从西班牙占领该群岛开始以来就以此为基础的，到南太平洋的其他外国海域。关于西班牙在菲律宾的存在的重要研究已经提到了其中一些事件，但是对于它们在该地区的西班牙造船业以及整个西班牙太平洋系统的意义仍然没有得到讨论。它表明，这些政策背后的动机不是服从一个单一的原因，而是反映了特定的战略重商和军事环境，其中包括国家干预，私人利益，剧烈的社会动荡起了重要作用。这种解释是基于现有的史学和对至今仍未使用的第一手资料的检验。
