Tandanor is an Argentine worker-owned shipyard, and the nation's largest. Tandanor is involved in shipbuilding and ship repair〔(Argentina: Tandanor, the old dog teaching itself new tricks. ) ''The America's Intelligence Wire.'' 2 Nov. 2005.〕 and has facilities in Buenos Aires' port. Founded on November 10, 1879, Tandanor was originally conceived for the maintenance of the Argentine naval fleet. In 1991 Tandanor was privatized under President Carlos Menem's privatization plan.〔Marion Welham, "Special Report on Argentina: Takeovers are only hope for shipyards," ''Lloyd's List International'', Nov. 16, 1991.〕 In 1999, after the principal stockholder declared bankruptcy,〔(''Clarín'' (6/19/2005) )〕 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.〔"Beacon of hope that sparked Tandanor back to life," ''Lloyd's List International'', Aug. 30, 2006.〕〔 The shipyard has the only Synchrolift of the country (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.〔(mindef: ''El comienzo en agosto próximo en los Astilleros Tandanor (en Buenos Aires) de la construcción primera de las cuatro Patrulleras Oceánicas Multipropósito, cuya ingeniería básica fue adquirida a la industria chilena.'' )〕 == See also == * Argentine defense industry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tandanor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
