ECER : Shipbuilding Industry

SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY IN THE EAST COAST ECONOMIC REGION (ECER)

OVERVIEW


The Third Industrial Masterplan (IMP3) has identified the Shipbuilding Industry as one of the main strategic industry for the country’s development. In 2005, it provided employment opportunities to 20,250 people and contributed RM 2.21 billion to the nation’s export. Between 1996 and 2005, the sector recorded an average growth rate of 10.1 per cent per annum.

To boost its growth and development, the IMP has outlined several strategic thrust for the Malaysian Shipbuilding Industry:

- Enhancing domestic capabilities in the building of smaller vessels, ship repairing and maintenance activities;
- Intensifying the upgrading of skills and engineering capabilities;
- Strengthening the infrastructure and supporting facilities;
- Strengthening the institutional supports; and
- Expanding activities in the fabrication of offshore structures

There are currently seventy (70) shipyards in Malaysia engaging in the following activities:

- Construction of ocean-going vessels, tug boats, patrol vessels, supply vessels, fishing vessels, landing crafts, passenger ferries and boats, small tankers and leisure crafts;
- Construction of offshore structures for the oil and gas industries;
- Ship repairing, maintenance, upgrading, overhauling and refurbishing of vessels;
- Conversions of ships;
- Heavy engineering; and
- Fabrication of offshore structures, steel structures and cranes.

The six main shipyards in Malaysia in term of capacity in buildings of merchant ships are Malaysian Marine Heavy Engineering (MMHE), Boustead, Sabah Shipyard, Ramunia, Sasacom and Muhibbah.

The other shipyards operate on a small-scale basis mainly for the local market and usage in the shallow waters.



In 2005, Malaysia imported RM3.2 billion worth of various marine transport products compared with RM2.2billion worth of exports, mainly contributed by petroleum production platforms. Major imports items, including cruise ships, ferry boats and cargo barges, accounted for a staggering RM2.2 billion of the total imports.

Apart from its regional counterparts such as Singapore, ROK, Japan as well as China, Malaysia also facing increased competition from Vietnam and Thailand that offer lower labour cost.

Among the challenges facing the local shipyards are manpower problems, rising operational costs, excess capacity and limited capabilities.
