The industry is the marine industrial backbone If in the past the shipbuilding industry was mainly viewed from the perspective of specialized industrial production, now this industry is placed in the overall national development strategy as a marine industrial backbone. A country with a strong shipbuilding industry will directly contribute to improving the capacity to ensure sovereignty over seas and islands, be more proactive in maritime transport, reduce dependence on foreign markets, significantly reduce logistics costs, and be an important link in the chain of green economic development and global energy transition, Mr. Dat affirmed. The position of Vietnams shipbuilding industry is currently at the intersection of three battle axes. Strategy: economics-logistics-national security. Developing the shipbuilding industry can completely become a new growth pole, directly contributing to the goal of bringing Vietnam to a double-digit economic growth rate in the coming period. However, for many years, the Vietnamese shipbuilding industry has faced many difficulties such as limited financial capacity, unsynchronized technology, weak supporting industries, unstable market and fragmented production. Many shipbuilding facilities have not yet formed large-scale production chains, the localization rate is low, and international competitiveness is limited. Sharing the same opinion, Mr. Pham Ngoc Linh, Vice President of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA) said that the shipbuilding industry is considered the backbone and infrastructure foundation for the marine economy. However, this industry is still facing difficulties in capital, mastering high technology, attracting high human resources to meet the trend of building green ships and smart ships; The competitiveness of the domestic fleet is still modest, and the national transport market still depends heavily on foreign shipping companies. Proposing many financial policies to develop the shipbuilding industry After nearly three decades of struggling with difficulties and recession, up to now, according to Mr. Dat, along with the drastic restructuring of SBIC and the right policies of the Party and State and ministries, branches, Vietnams shipbuilding industry has achieved significant results such as: participating in building high-tech ships, green ships and autonomously building new modern military ships, although still facing financial difficulties and technological challenges that put Vietnam in the group of 10 countries with the worlds leading shipbuilding capacity. The shipbuilding industry is not only a pure manufacturing industry, but is becoming a tool of national power in the current context of geopolitical competition and global instability as well as mastering the logistics supply chain and reducing logistics costs in a sustainable way. At the same time, if supported and resolved, the shipbuilding industry can contribute to promoting national GDP growth through production, import and export activities. To promote shipbuilding industry, a representative of the Vietnam Maritime and Waterways Department said that the Ministry of Construction has completed and submitted to the Government a project to improve the capacity of domestic shipbuilding enterprises, which proposes many financial, tax, fee and planning policies to develop the shipbuilding industry. Currently, the Maritime Code and the Law on Waterway Traffic are being amended, adding a number of new regulations in the Law such as: preferential policies on taxes, fees, investment for shipbuilding enterprises; attracting resources domestic and foreign participation in developing the shipbuilding industry; prioritize the use of domestically produced shipbuilding industry products, the leader of the Vietnam Maritime and Waterways Department added.Phan TrangSee moreOpening up opportunities for cooperation between Italian and Vietnamese enterprises in the field of high-tech shipbuildingSee moreDissolution of the Steering Committee for Relocation of Seaports on the Saigon River and Ba Son Shipyard See moreMobilizing more large transport ships to carry oil from the Gulf Persia returns to Vietnam
