Dong Xuyen Industrial Zone, Vung Tau City, Ba Ria, Vietnam
Strategic Marine’s massive 136,500sqm facility at the Dong Xuyen Industrial Zone in South Vietnam was purchased in 2007, and now employs more than 1,100 staff including fabricators, welders, production supervisors and management staff.
The yard, which has nearly 20,000sqm of workshop and machinery shop space, has been fully equipped to produce sizeable steel vessels.
There are five workshops covering an area of 11,000sqm, five specialist workshops on 3,000sqm, a 2,400sqm stores area, and a 2,000sqm machinery shop.
Three slipways, with the largest being 152m long and 60m wide, are nearing completion, and a heavy fabrication area of 30,000sqm is nearby.
The yard is equipped with 16 ten tonne overhead gantry cranes, four crawler cranes with a capacity to lift 50-200 tonnes, a 10 tonne “A” frame crane, a CNC plasma cutting machine and steel mechanical cutting and hydraulic rolling machines.
The facility has manufactured the steel base pontoon of the AUD$62 million Australian Marine Complex’s floating dry dock, and has won orders for two 143m Diving Support Vessels and one Well Stimulation Vessel from Singapore company Marfield Limited.
The yard is also building a 23.9m new generation compact tug from the Port of Napier in New Zealand – the company’s first ever tugboat signing.
