writing the river’s
history.
From our origins to our most notable milestones.
2010
Foundation
Alianza Barlovento was founded with a clear vision: to provide specialized shipbuilding and naval maintenance services on the Paraguay-Paraná waterway, meeting the technical demands of one of South America’s most strategic river corridors.
2016
Construction of the ÁRASY
Construction of a harbor tugboat designed for towing operations between local ports, barge loading and unloading, vessel custody and convoy assembly.
2019
Construction of the ÁRASY 2.0
After years of harbor operations, the Harbor Tugboat ÁRASY underwent a comprehensive structural transformation that expanded its operational capabilities. Reinforced in beam, depth and power, the ÁRASY 2.0 evolved from a harbor tugboat into a cabotage tugboat, acquiring the capacity to tow nine loaded Mississippi-type barges on long-range river navigation.
2020
Construction of the ÁNGELUS GABRIEL
Construction of a coastal tugboat with a power output of 2×818 HP, capable of towing twelve Mississippi-type barges on international river routes.
2021
Construction of the MICHELANGELO
Construction of a tugboat designed for coastal navigation towing a convoy of nine Mississippi-type barges.
