Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (SBIC) and Nam Trieu Shipbuilding Company (NASICO) launched the Trường Minh Dream 02, a 65,000 DWT bulk carrier, marking the largest vessel fully built by Vietnamese engineers. The ship measures nearly 200 meters in length and 32.26 meters in beam, featuring five cargo holds, four 30-ton deck cranes, and a hydraulically operated hatch cover system. Designed for fuel efficiency and long-haul operations, it includes a double-bottom structure and a single-propeller configuration. The engineering design was developed by Vietnam’s VISEC with Finnish partner BLUETECH, and construction was supervised by Japan’s ClassNK and Vietnam’s registry. The main engine, built under MAN license in Japan, meets international standards. This launch underscores Vietnam's growing shipbuilding capabilities, ranking 4th globally by 2024, and supports the country’s expansion in maritime logistics and global trading routes.
