Our Group’ shipbuilding division is headed by our General Manager, Mr Luk Fook Seng. Our Group’s shipbuilding division are spearheaded by 2 wholly owned subsidiaries, namely SSSB and SESSB.
SSSB (formerly known as Armada Shipyard ( Labuan) Sdn Bhd) was incorporated on 30 Mach 1990. The company ventured into shipbuilding in 1997 when our Group acquired a 30% share in the company. The shareholdings were subsequently increased to 60% in 2003.
SESSB was incorporated in May 2004 and commenced business in 2006.
These shipyards provide a full range of services, skilled craftsmen and an extensive local network of experienced subcontractors.
The first vessel built and completed within our shipyards was a landing craft in 1999, named Sealink Victoria. Since then, our Group’s shipbuilding activities have grown by leaps and bounds. Our Group delivered 6 and 7 vessels in 2006 and 2007 respectively from our own shipyards.
The shipbuilding division provides the building for all types of vessels, using the latest CAD equipment, while repair services to be carried out in the future will include repairing marine vessels of up to 100 metres in length.
