Based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vattutaubien.vn, widely known by its trade abbreviation VTTB, is a specialized maritime contractor and ship supplier serving the commercial shipping industry across Vietnam. Established in 2012, the company functions as a comprehensive logistics and technical partner for ship owners, operators, and management companies. It provides a dual portfolio of services that encompasses both traditional ship chandling - provisioning vessels with essential goods - and complex marine engineering or repair works. The enterprise supports vessels of various classes, including container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers, whether they are docked at terminals or stationed at anchorages within Vietnamese territorial waters.
The company’s supply chain operations are designed to meet the immediate daily requirements of a vessel’s crew and machinery. As a general ship chandler, Vattutaubien.vn distributes a wide array of provisions, ranging from fresh and frozen foods to dry goods and bonded stores. Beyond consumables, the company maintains a robust inventory of technical marine supplies. This includes deck and engine stores, cabin equipment, pneumatic and electrical tools, and safety gear. To ensure accuracy in fulfilling orders for international fleets, the company utilizes standard industry references, such as the IMPA and ISSA catalogs, allowing purchasing officers to identify specific parts and materials with precision, thereby reducing the risk of incompatibility or delivery errors.
In parallel with its supply activities, Vattutaubien.vn operates a technical services division focused on vessel maintenance and repair. This sector of the business handles demanding physical tasks, including hull repairs necessitated by collisions, steel construction and renewal, and piping system modifications. The company employs teams of skilled welders and engineers capable of executing hot works, checking cargo lashing systems, and conducting underwater surveys to assess hull integrity. Their capabilities extend to the maintenance of critical deck machinery, such as cranes and hatch covers, ensuring that cargo handling equipment remains operational. By integrating these technical solutions with standard chandlery services, Vattutaubien.vn functions as a single-source point of contact for vessels requiring logistical support and engineering interventions while navigating the ports of Vietnam.
