Our Fleet: A Tribute to the Río Solís and Our Uruguayan Roots
The modernization of our fleet marks a milestone in our evolution. Both the Río Solís II, renovated in 2022, and the Río Solís IV, completely rebuilt and incorporated in 2024, are equipped with cutting-edge technology designed to optimize our fishing operations, enhance operational efficiency, and uphold the highest standards of hygiene and traceability.
The names of our fleet pay homage to the iconic Río Solís Grande and Río Solís Chico, whose waters feed into the majestic Río de la Plata, connecting our roots to the Atlantic Ocean. These rivers symbolize our natural and cultural heritage, reinforcing our bond with the Uruguayan environment and our base in Montevideo.
These advancements reflect not only our commitment to Uruguay but also to the fishing sector and the communities tied to the maritime environment. By fostering job creation, specialized training, and the strengthening of local economies, we aim to support the preservation of marine resources and biodiversity.
Our goal is to operate responsibly, balancing efficiency with respect for the natural environment that sustains us.
