Hai Phong facilitates shipbuilding development
Chairman of the Hai Phong People's Committee Do Thanh Trung said the city is actively developing a project to restore and develop the city's shipbuilding industry.
Do Thanh Trung, Deputy Secretary of the Hai Phong Party Committee and Chairman of the Hai Phong People's Committee, paid a working visit to Damen Song Cam Shipyard Co., Ltd. in Thien Huong Ward on November 12.
During the working session, the company proposed that the city adopt measures to attract, train and retain high-quality personnel for the shipbuilding industry. These should include continued investment in housing, better living conditions and environments, and stronger links with vocational training institutions.
The firm also expressed its wish to explore investment in a logistics center in the Hai Phong Free Trade Zone to expand its production and business activities and capitalize on the city's advantages in seaport infrastructure and transport connectivity.
The enterprise's leaders welcomed the continued attention given to the shipbuilding industry by Central and city authorities. They also spoke highly of authorities' support in addressing difficulties and obstacles in the past, creating favorable conditions for the company to stabilize its operations and pursue long-term development.
Chairman of the Hai Phong People's Committee Do Thanh Trung said the city was actively developing a project to restore and develop the city’s shipbuilding industry. Hai Phong aims to develop the industry in conjunction with its ecosystem of seaports, logistics, supporting industries and services, while focusing on maintaining and developing businesses with strong capabilities, experience and international markets.
Hai Phong will continue to support businesses, improve the investment and business environment, and create favorable conditions for enterprises to operate with confidence and expand production over the long term in the city, Trung affirmed.
Welcoming the company's proposal to explore establishing a logistics center in the Hai Phong Free Trade Zone, Chairman Do Thanh Trung suggested that the firm proactively conduct research and prepare the necessary conditions at an early stage to accelerate implementation and make effective use of the city's advantages in location, infrastructure and transport connectivity.
The city leader also asked the company to continue leveraging its strengths in technology, management experience and international markets, and proactively expand cooperation with domestic businesses, particularly in mechanical engineering, manufacturing, supply of materials and equipment, and supporting industries for shipbuilding. This would help strengthen links across the production chain, increase the localization rate, enhance product value and promote sustainable development.
Chairman Do Thanh Trung assigned Thien Huong Ward, together with relevant departments and agencies, to continue supporting the company in its operations and expansion of investment, production and business activities; proactively provide guidance, address difficulties and obstacles, and promptly resolve administrative procedures within their authority.
