Shipyard
facilities
Two shipyards across from Asunción,
on the Paraguayan stretch of the Hidrovía.
Our operational base
Our facilities comprise two shipyards located just 1.5 kilometers apart. The main shipyard is in Nueva Asunción, Chaco’i, at Km 1631.5 of the Paraguay River, right bank, with approximately 250 meters of operational waterfront.
The second shipyard is located at Km 1633 of the Paraguay River, in Blanco Cué, Asunción, left bank, with 12,000 m² and 115 meters of waterfront. Supervision of both shipyards relies on high-resolution video surveillance and Starlink satellite connectivity, allowing every job to be monitored in real time. Both sites also have space to develop industrial buildings and technical offices for clients.
Our slipways can handle up to 12 vessels simultaneously, distributed across the main, secondary and alternate slipways. Haul-out is carried out with a 120 HP electric winch and marine airbags, ensuring safe operations for large vessels. We also plan to add a floating dock to further reduce operational response times.
Beyond our shipyards, our 24/7 technical standby allows us to intervene afloat on vessels in transit on the Paraguay and Alto Paraná rivers.
