Trade Mission to Vietnamese Yards and Shipbuilders, 3 March - 10 March 2007
Venue: Vietnam
BMEA is organising and managing the above captioned trade mission to Vietnam.
The Vietnamese new build, conversion and repair Yards have really taken off in the last few years, under the overall control of VINASHIN.
The plan is to visit the VINASHIN Administration and Shipyards within a 2 hour luxury coach ride from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in the South and Hanoi in the North.
Since the Vietnamese Yards are challenging China on price, expansion is phenomenal and VINASHIN is hungry to seek out the latest marine equipment and products and technologies from European firms, in particular.
In view of BMEA's close relationship with the Korean Yards, Hyundai Mipo have specifically invited delegates to visit their large repair facility which is some 2 hours from HCMC.
Delegates will also visit Graig Shipping, who presently build ships in the Shanghai area and have now also moved into Vietnam. Again, the BMEA Group has been invited to their new facility to observe their award winning diamond 53 double hull bulk carrier being built. We also plan to visit Keppel FELS Limited and many of the other Shipyards under the control of the VINASHIN Administration.
