Our Name — A Word from Nick Fotopoulos, the Founder of Ergonav
ERGONAV combines two classical roots: "ergo-" from the Greek ergon (έργον), meaning "work," and "nav" from the Latin navis, meaning "ship" or "navigation." Together, the name translates literally to "work on ships" — a direct reflection of the company's core identity as a hands-on, technical services provider to the maritime industry.
