Alumax Amsterdam officially inaugurated its aluminium shipbuilding plant in northern Bac Ninh province on July 1, becoming the first shipyard in Vietnam to operate using technology, designs and manufacturing processes transferred from the Netherlands.
The new facility marks a significant step for Vietnam's shipbuilding industry, with production geared towards manufacturing European-standard aluminium vessels for both the domestic market and exports.
The factory will produce a broad range of vessels, including patrol boats, government service craft, specialised high-speed boats, passenger ferries, aluminium fishing vessels, private yachts and catamaran party boats designed for the tourism and leisure sector.
Alumax Amsterdam views Vietnam not only as a promising market but also as its strategic manufacturing hub in Asia. The company has committed to long-term investment through technology transfer, workforce training and the development of a domestic supply chain.
By combining Dutch shipbuilding expertise with local manufacturing capabilities, the project is expected to help establish Vietnam as a producer of internationally certified aluminium vessels while enhancing the country's competitiveness in the global maritime industry.
