Ba Son Corporation

Ba Son Corporation (Vietnamese: Tổng công ty Ba Son) is a Vietnamese state-owned enterprise operating in shipbuilding, ship repair, and a range of related industrial and commercial fields. Its predecessor, Xí nghiệp Liên hợp Ba Son, was established on 1 January 1978 under the General Department of Defense Industry of the Ministry of National Defence of Vietnam. The corporation's registered headquarters is at 2 Tôn Đức Thắng Street, Bến Nghé Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, while its main shipyard is located in Phú Mỹ II Industrial Park, Phú Mỹ Town, Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu Province. The company's core mission has historically been the repair and construction of ships and floating vessels, ensuring operational capability for the Vietnam People's Navy and the Vietnam Coast Guard, as well as serving other maritime customers in foreign markets. Beyond shipbuilding, Ba Son operates in diverse sectors including metal scrap recycling, sand mining, real estate and machinery trading, wood processing, warehousing, and cargo transport. In September 2009, Nhà máy X51 was transferred to Xí nghiệp Liên hợp Ba Son and the entity was renamed Ba Son One Member Limited Liability Company (Công ty trách nhiệm hữu hạn một thành viên Ba Son). On 14 June 2014, it was reorganized and renamed Tổng công ty Ba Son (Ba Son Corporation). The corporation is organized into functional offices and member units. Its office block includes departments for safety, power and equipment, planning and production, quality control (KCS), technical affairs, finance and accounting, organization and labor, design and technology, materials, and political affairs. Member units include the Mechanical Enterprise, Engine Enterprise, Pipe Enterprise, Carpentry Enterprise, Dockyard Enterprise, Transport Enterprise, Hull Enterprise, and Weapons–Electronics Enterprise, as well as Nhà máy X51 (operating as Hải Minh One Member Co., Ltd.), a Vũng Tàu branch, a guesthouse and services unit, and Sơn Hải Âu One Member Co., Ltd. As a defense-industry enterprise, Ba Son occupies a strategic position in Vietnam's maritime and naval industrial base, combining military shipbuilding and maintenance with commercial ship repair and diversified industrial activities.

Ba Son Corporation traces its institutional origin to Xí nghiệp Liên hợp Ba Son, established on 1 January 1978 under the General Department of Defense Industry of Vietnam's Ministry of National Defence. The enterprise was tasked with repairing and building ships and floating vessels to support the operations of the Vietnam People's Navy and the Vietnam Coast Guard, as well as serving other maritime vessels in foreign markets. In September 2009, Nhà máy X51 was transferred to Xí nghiệp Liên hợp Ba Son, and the organization was renamed Ba Son One Member Limited Liability Company (Công ty trách nhiệm hữu hạn một thành viên Ba Son). This change reflected the broader restructuring of Vietnamese state-owned enterprises into limited liability company forms during that period. On 14 June 2014, the entity was further reorganized and renamed Tổng công ty Ba Son (Ba Son Corporation), reflecting its expanded role as a corporation with multiple member units and diversified operations. Over its history, Ba Son has expanded beyond its core shipbuilding and repair mission into a range of industrial and commercial activities, including metal scrap recycling, sand mining, real estate and machinery trading, wood processing, warehousing, and cargo transport. Its main shipyard is located in Phú Mỹ II Industrial Park in Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu Province, while its registered headquarters remains at 2 Tôn Đức Thắng Street in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1. The corporation is organized with a head office block containing functional departments and a set of member enterprises covering mechanical work, engines, piping, carpentry, dockyard operations, transport, hull construction, and weapons–electronics. It also includes Nhà máy X51 (operating as Hải Minh One Member Co., Ltd.), a Vũng Tàu branch, a guesthouse and services unit, and Sơn Hải Âu One Member Co., Ltd.
