1. Introduction to Song Cam Shipyard
Song Cam Shipyard, part of Damen – Song Cam Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., is a joint venture between Damen Group (Netherlands) and Song Cam Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company, based in Thuy Nguyen District, Hai Phong. Established in 2007 with a charter capital of nearly VND 855 billion, the venture sees Damen holding a 70% stake, while Song Cam Shipbuilding holds 30%.
Originally, the company started as a small workshop owned by Vietnamese entrepreneur Bach Thai Buoi. In the 1950s, facing stiff competition from foreign capital, Buoi had to sell the workshop to the French capitalist-owned Xo Pha company. Later, Vietnamese businesspeople reclaimed the workshop, continuing production. Over its 70-year history, Sông Cấm Shipbuilding Joint Stock Company has evolved from a modest mechanical workshop to a modern facility capable of building and repairing state-of-the-art ships.
