DISCOVER THE NEW WAY
MORE THAN A SHIPYARD
We create innovative solutions that contribute in a sustainable way to the development of the maritime and aquaculture industries.
We have the infrastructure, experience and technical team to provide the most efficient and complete maritime construction service.
Who we are
We are more than a shipyard; we create innovative solutions that contribute, in a sustainable way, to the development of the maritime and aquaculture industries.
With more than 30 years of experience, we develop, design, and build naval artefacts on which the national and international aquaculture industry is based today.
We want to be a reference in innovation, engineering and naval construction. Our motivation is to become a fundamental pillar in the development of the aquaculture industry, committed with knowledge and the search for excellence and sustainability.
Our history
We started in 1987 with Mas Ltda., a small company located in Viña del Mar. In 1989 we moved to Puerto Montt, to build naval artefacts for the fishing field. Since then, we started building the first floating constructions with habitability, that are being modernized year after year.
Today, we have specialized in pontoons and in situ after-sales service for the aquaculture industry.
To date, we have developed more than 350 projects over concrete and steel platforms, and more than 200 high-performance boats in naval aluminum.
Our experience endorses our quality.
OUR TEAM
Our team of professionals specializes in the design, engineering, and construction of naval artefacts. They can generate, from just one idea, different projects that can adapt to the needs of each client. In total, we are more than 80 workers and more than 120 subcontractors.
We are proud of our people, who focus all their experience in taking care of every detail and deliver products with Sitecna’s quality seal.

QUALITY
Our projects are backed by an ample experience and a great productive and technological capacity. Our seriousness and future-oriented vision, present in each pontoon we build, stand out as our main characteristics. Our quality control management department makes sure that we meet our high standards and care for details.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are aware of the importance of taking care of the sea that supports our industry; this is why we search for engineering and technologies that will have the lowest impact possible on the environment. For this reason, our procedures are under the ISO 14001 norm.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We rely on the best human and technological capital to confront the challenges presented by our clients.
We work to develop new knowledge and technologies that will boost a better outcome of our products.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
We want our products to be a tangible contribution; that’s why we have developed an implementation and development platform unique in our industry.
DESIGN
Our pursuit for design and concern for improvement has led our company to a continuous renovation, that allows us to move forward and face new challenges in our market. A culture of innovation is present in each and every one of our activities.
INNOVATION
Since we started at Sitecna, the design, construction and repair of naval artefacts has changed a lot. This has forced our company to a continuous renovation, in order to face new needs in the market.
Our premise is:

PONTOONS
More than 30 years of experience warrant our work.
Solid tradition, ample experience, great dynamism, constant innovation.
We are a versatile shipyard, capable of building naval artefacts in concrete and steel, tailor-made to meet the needs of our clients, with high-quality standards and first-rate comfort and finishing touches. Artefacts can be meant to be used as stockpiles (or hold), for silage, only for habitability and for feeding (with or without silage).
Our pontoons are designed to resist the most adverse climate conditions. We know the reality aquaculture faces; this is why we build in accordance with our clients’ needs, with emphasis on efficiency and comfort.
More than
550
pontoons in concrete and steel.
Concrete
pontoon
We are pioneers in the construction of robust concrete pontoons. 30 years ago, we were the first ones to implement this material in the construction of pontoons with on-board habitability. These concrete pontoons can have one or two walls, with cooling keels that can be either exposed or protected.
Steel
pontoon
We develop steel pontoons with the highest quality standards in the industry, adapted to the southernmost seas of the world and with all the first-rate technology that characterizes Sitecna.
More than
200
steel and aluminum ships.
SHIPS AND
FLOATING DOCKS
Our specialized staff designs and builds docks with the ideal conditions to adapt to the southernmost seas of the world.
We build floating docks that move according to changes in the tide. These artefacts are used in the most isolated zones, offering connectivity to the persons that live there.
Our docks remain stable against different climate variations, allowing commercial and naval ships to berth with no problems.
SERVICES
Our specialized staff designs and builds docks with the ideal conditions to adapt to the southernmost seas of the world.
Field services
We provide a thorough field service, thanks to the implementation of a complete maintenance platform and after-sales service.
To comply with the standards demanded by the industry, our services department is in charge of field maintenance, in order to do the refitting as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Refitting
To leave a pontoon operating, our company’s refitting services start with the most basic level and move on to the most complete options.
• Work on underwater hulls
• Work on deadworks
• Abrasive blasting and painting
• Plate changing (in steel hull)
• Manufacture of superstructure blocks
• Others (as needed by the client)
Our floating dock allows us to refit ships and yachts.
Docks
We have two dry docks available for work in the refitting, revision, reparation, and painting of ships.
Barge
Our barge has a lifting capacity of 900 tons and a working area of 2,047 ft2. It is mostly used for cargo transportation and pontoons, floating dry docks and floating work areas.
Contact us
We are strategically located in Chinquihue, Puerto Montt. From there, our products and services can reach any place where they are required. We have offices in the X, XI and XII Regions, to comply in the most efficient way with the needs of our clients.
