Vietnam ’s first ship engine plant

Hai Phong (VNA) – Vietnam ’s first ship engine plant, a join venture between
the Bach Dang Shipbuilding Corporation and the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd of
Japan , was put into operation on February 3.

The plant in the northern port city of Hai Phong will enable the country to
build first ships using domestically made engines.

The plant will churn out 22 diesel engines with a capacity of 2,600-23,500 Kw each
year. The first engine will be installed at a 22,500-tonne ship ordered by the
VINASHIN Petroleum Investment and Transport Joint Stock Company.

The building of the plant is said to be a new step in a roadmap to develop the
country’s shipbuilding industry with a target of producing domestically 60
percent of ship parts.

The Bach Dang shipyard is also carrying out projects to build two other diesel
engine plants. -Enditem
