On March 29, the Ministry of Transport's working delegation worked with Nha Trang Shipbuilding Company Limited, Cam Ranh Shipbuilding Company Limited and HD Hyundai Vietnam Shipbuilding Company Limited (HVS, Ninh Hoa Town) in Khanh Hoa to implement Resolution 220 of the Government on bankruptcy of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (SBIC).
According to Mr. Vo Ngoc Tuan, General Director of Cam Ranh Shipbuilding Company Limited, the unit has recently seen a decline in production and business. In 2023, the company's production value reached only over 21.6 billion VND, equal to 81% of the annual plan. However, the company still maintains a regular workforce of 60 people, with an average income of 7.8 million VND/person/month.

In 2024, it is forecasted that the demand for new construction from customers in the region will be low, and the company's infrastructure and financial conditions will be under more pressure. This unit is making efforts to focus on exploiting customers who need to build new 150-300T barges... to ensure its business plan.
Similarly, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Director of Nha Trang Shipbuilding Company Limited, also said that in 2023, the company's financial situation was difficult because revenue did not meet the plan (more than 8.8 billion VND).
Notably, due to financial difficulties, the company has not been able to establish and announce ports, wharves, water areas, and specialized shipping lanes as prescribed.

According to Mr. Tuan, along with promoting the repair of products transferred in 2024, the enterprise will maximize resources to achieve the set product plan.
Sharing the difficulties of enterprises, the Ministry of Transport delegation requested units to have solutions to remove them, organize experience sharing for each specific product, shorten construction time and increase quality.
According to Mr. Tran Manh Hung, Deputy Director of the Department of Enterprise Management (Ministry of Transport), the two companies need to fully inform the partners about difficulties, legal conditions, and transparency so that they can feel secure in cooperating. From there, production can be ensured to maintain income and create a source of livelihood for workers.
Mr. Hung said that units cannot wait for work but always proactively seek sources of goods such as repair services for cargo ships, oil tankers, barges... Because the repair costs are not large, and the capital can be recovered quickly. However, it is necessary to shorten the time and have reasonable prices.
In addition, companies continue to offer prices for products such as steel structures; provide services to exploit the infrastructure, land, and water surface of the factory, ensuring jobs for workers.
The Ministry of Transport's working group noted that units need to maintain income for workers, avoid unpaid wages, delayed wages, and insurance debts, and put workers' interests first.

Along with that is to increase income for workers so that they can stay long-term and do a good job of social security for the locality.
