General Manager
German understands the importance of providing an array of services to meet the evolving needs of ships along the port of Ushuaia. “We are not just ship agents,” German explains. “Our clients must determine their logistic needs in a short time, and we must stay focused in order to provide the best and most timely solutions for them.”
German loves his work, and the pier has become his “second home” over the years. When he’s not developing or supervising logistics programs, however, you can find him in Puerto Madryn, spending time at home with family and friends or coaching at the Rugby Club, where he played as a child.

Our clients understand this and know they can rely on us.”
When she’s not responding to the evolving accounting needs of her clients, Jimena enjoys reading, going to the movies, playing video games, walking, and riding her bike. She is also a huge fan of sports and music, and finds her home of Ushuaia perfect for both.

Josefina’s title includes the jobs of both Customs Broker and Customs Transport Agent, and as such she’s learned the value of versatility and flexibility. “Although there are different departments with different demands, they are all related,” she explains. “If one fails, we all fail.

The building of solid client relationships is Josefina’s favorite part of the job. Many of her clients have become friends, which she now considers part of her extended Delver Agents family.
