When ASENAV started his operations in the place where his main plant (Plant I) is located the installations of the old and small shipyard which ASENAV purchased where really very simple and precarious and the surface of the lot also very limited.   During the years the company was able to purchase 3 contiguous lots forming a total lot of approximately  63.000 m² and which correspond to present Plant I.

 In 2003 the company purchased an other lot, with a surface of 10.000 m², located downstream the same river the main plant is located, with direct access to the sea, without intermedia bridges limiting the height of the vessels.   In this plant (Plant II) an own moor wharf was constructed and finishing and outfitting works are performed in this plant, mainly for the larger boats.

 Finally, in 2008, ASENAV was able to purchase a lot, of approximately 55.000 m², just facing the main plant.   In this new plant (Plant III) a large construction shed was constructed, to be able to construct the larger vessels contracted before, increasing in an important volume the total construction capacity of the shipyard.   Additionally, due to his location it is possible to move sections of hulls or complete hulls, on lorries (cars) running on rails, to Plant I, which main construction shed is in line with shipyards slipway.

In Plant I the indicated slipway is located, which capacity, recently extended, allows to launch hulls of up to 3.500 tons.

In the Plant I also the lift dock (or shyncro-lift) is located, with a lifting capacity of up to approximately 1400 tons.

Covered production areas have a surface of approximately 25.000 m².  Permanent workers are between 500 and 600, to which approximately 200 workers of subcontractors must be added and some personnel contracted for limited periods for specific projects.

With all this infrastructure, installations and personell, ASENAV is prepared to make possible an efficient and safe construction of all kind of vessels, limited in size to about 110 m as a total length and up to 23 m beam.

Pictures included in this page give an idea of described installations and facilities.

ASENAV is also prepared to build vessels with higher total lenght, constructing them in two sections, which would be towed to an other place to be assembled.
