Tandanor
Tandanor is an Argentine worker-owned shipyard, and the nation's largest. Tandanor is involved in shipbuilding and ship repair and has facilities in Buenos Aires' port.
Founded on November 10, 1879, Tandanor was originally conceived for the maintenance of the Argentine Navy fleet.
In 1991 Tandanor was privatized under President Carlos Menem's privatization plan. In 1999, after the principal stockholder declared bankruptcy, its workers bought out the shipyard. The economic crisis of 2001 and the following currency devaluation lowered the costs to competitive international values, which made the business again profitable, and the shipyard currently employs around 400 workers.
The shipyard has the only Synchrolift in Argentina. video
In March 2010, it was announced that the construction of the first of four 1,800 ton offshore patrol ships would begin in August. The ships are projected to cost 619 million pesos and will be used to patrol the southern Argentine Sea.
