Proios S.A

Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Proios S.A. operates as a comprehensive maritime service provider, integrating industrial ship repair, naval engineering, and logistical support. Established in 1989, the company was founded by Jorge Proios, maintaining a corporate identity deeply rooted in Greek maritime tradition while serving the specific needs of the South American shipping sector. Over more than three decades, the firm has expanded its operational footprint to cover major ports across Argentina and the neighboring Oriental Republic of Uruguay, providing critical support to international vessels navigating the South Atlantic. The company distinguishes itself through its substantial technical capabilities, holding official registration as a Shipyard and Naval Repair Shop with the Prefectura Naval Argentina. This certification authorizes the organization to execute complex structural and mechanical interventions that go beyond standard maintenance. Proios S.A. manages dedicated workshop facilities equipped for heavy fabrication, where teams of technicians handle steel and aluminum construction, welding, and retrofitting projects. These industrial assets allow the firm to repair hull structures, fabricate piping systems, and overhaul mechanical equipment, ensuring vessels remain compliant with rigorous international safety and classification standards. Beyond physical repairs, Proios S.A. employs a specialized staff of naval architects and engineers who oversee technical designs and feasibility studies for ship modifications. This engineering division works in tandem with the repair teams to certify that all structural changes meet ISO quality protocols and the requirements of major classification societies. The company’s scope of work also includes a dedicated underwater services unit capable of executing professional salvage operations, underwater hull inspections, and submerged maintenance, providing a crucial layer of support for vessels requiring emergency assistance or routine underwater assessments. While heavy technical services form the core of its industrial identity, the company also functions as a logistical partner for visiting fleets. It provides integral ship chandling services, managing the supply of spare parts, provisions, and warehousing. By combining afloat repairs and heavy engineering with essential supply chain management, Proios S.A. supports the operational continuity of commercial shipping lines, tankers, and offshore vessels operating within the region's complex waterways.
