Company Performance Metrics
- Eberhard Kossmann: Founder
ASENAV’s origins are closely linked to the city of Valdivia, located in southern Chile. As a result of living by a river and close to the Pacific Ocean its inhabitants have developed a strong maritime tradition and skills that have allowed them to excel as leading ship builders.
The experience gained from nearly a century of building ships and the
technological impetus provided by German immigrants, inspired naval architect and mechanical engineer Eberhard Kossmann to establish the company in 1972, formally becoming Asenav in 1974.
ASENAV’s experience of over 40 years building ships, has led to an international reputation for excellence in markets around the world, delivering world class projects not only in Chile, but also for customers in countries such as Argentina, Canada, the United States, Peru, Norway, the Faroe Islands, Fiji, and Uruguay, among others. Asenav is private shipyard on the Pacific coast of South America and the Caribbean, building on a reputation for reliable designs, efficient production, timely delivery, always with a focus on customer satisfaction.
