On November 14, Ha Long Shipbuilding One Member Co., Ltd. held a ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of its establishment (November 15, 1976 - 2026). The event was attended by leaders of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, along with representatives of departments, agencies, sectors and domestic and international partners.
At the ceremony, delegates and the company’s officials and employees looked back on its half-century of construction and development. The company’s predecessor was the Gieng Day shipbuilding facility, built in 1966 through cooperation between the Governments of Vietnam and Poland. After enduring the difficult years of war, Ha Long Shipyard was officially established on November 15, 1976.
Looking back over 50 years of development, from joining the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation in 1996 to overcoming the crisis period from 2008 to 2012, Ha Long Shipbuilding has continued to grow. In particular, through strategic cooperation with international groups such as Damen of the Netherlands and Scenic Tour of Australia, the company has mastered modern shipbuilding technology and successfully moved into the production of large-tonnage vessels, car carriers, high-end passenger ships and offshore wind service vessels.
On this occasion, Ha Long Shipbuilding One Member Co., Ltd. and Damen Group of the Netherlands launched the CSOV YN552209. The vessel is designed to support the offshore wind industry and features modern functions and a complex structure, requiring a high level of expertise and construction skills. The vessel is more than 88m long and 19.7m wide, with a design depth of 8m, a design draught of 5.3m and a gross tonnage of around 6,700 GT. It was ordered by Netherlands’ Damen Group.
