Based in Hai Phong, Vietnam, Phuong Hong Ship Repair and Marine Service Co., Ltd (often referred to as PHB) is a prominent technical service provider within the Southeast Asian maritime sector. Established in 2011, the company has developed a comprehensive portfolio of support solutions designed to assist international shipowners, managers, and operators whose vessels call at Vietnamese ports. While its headquarters are situated in the major port city of Hai Phong in the north, the firm maintains a significant operational presence in Ho Chi Minh City, allowing it to cover the entire coastline, including key maritime hubs such as Vung Tau, Cam Pha, Dung Quat, and Hon Gai.
The company’s core identity revolves around its capability to execute complex ship repairs and maintenance tasks without requiring vessels to deviate significantly from their schedules. It specializes in afloat repairs, offering mechanical, steel, and electrical engineering services directly at anchorages and terminals. This flexibility is crucial for commercial shipping lines that need to address technical issues during cargo operations. Beyond general deck and engine repairs, the organization provides specialized underwater services, including hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and underwater inspections, which are essential for maintaining vessel fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance.
A significant portion of the company’s operations is dedicated to safety equipment certification. It functions as an authorized service station for Life-Saving Appliances (LSA) and Fire Fighting Equipment (FFE). The firm holds approvals from multiple global manufacturers to inspect, test, and maintain life rafts, lifeboats, and fire suppression systems in accordance with IMO regulations. This technical authorization allows the company to issue valid certification for vessels, ensuring they meet international safety standards before departing Vietnamese waters.
In addition to its repair and safety divisions, the enterprise supports the logistical needs of the offshore and shipping industries. It acts as a supplier of technical marine spares, bonded stores, and provisions, effectively serving as a ship chandler that integrates material supply with technical execution. By combining engineering capabilities with logistical support, Phuong Hong Ship Repair and Marine Service Co., Ltd has consolidated its position as a "one-stop" marine solution provider, facilitating vessel readiness and operational continuity across Vietnam’s strategic sea routes.
