Advancing SBSR: AMIM Team Explores Turkish Shipyard Innovations for Malaysia-Turkiye Collaboration

11-14 June 2023 – Turkiye, Istanbul

AMIM @ Istanbul, Turkiye

From 11th to 14th July 2023, the MIGHT & AMIM Team embarked on a thrilling adventure under the MY-TR Technology Collaboration Program (Aerospace & SBSR). Our AMIM team, with representatives from Boustead Naval Shipyard, Labuan Shipyard and Engineering, Universiti Kuala Lumpur MIMET, and Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, was ready to explore and learn!

Let’s rewind and relive the incredible highlights of our trip!

🚀Day 1: It all began with a bang as we visited ASFAT and the awe-inspiring Istanbul Naval Shipyard. Witnessing their operations up close left us in complete awe!

🛠️ Day 2: STM welcomed us, and we delved into their pivotal role in defense projects, especially in the Maritime sector. We had the privilege of exchanging knowledge and insights on defense technologies and strategies, covering space, electronics, and maritime. The experience was simply mind-blowing!

💡 Our excitement continued on Day 2 as we explored TUBITAK MARMARA Teknoken. The innovative research and development activities left us inspired! We networked with experts, scientists, and entrepreneurs from various fields and explored potential collaborations for thrilling technology-driven projects.

🚢 And there’s more! On Day 3, we visited Istanbul Shipyard—one of Turkiye’s finest shipyards. The knowledge we gained on naval shipbuilding, repair, and MRO operations, along with understanding ASFAT’s & STM’s crucial role in managing military factories and shipyards, was truly invaluable.

Our visit to Turkiye’s top-notch shipyards served as a benchmark for the Malaysian Government’s long-term strategy to localize our Shipbuilding & Ship Repair (SBSR) industry. Just imagine the possibilities if we adopt a similar model for government projects, including those for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA). Exciting times ahead!

🤝 The good news is that both countries are eager to form partnerships through G2G National Projects that will benefit us all. With MIGHT’s impressive success in the aerospace sector and the establishment of MIGHT International, we’re confident that the SBSR industry can truly flourish under the Malaysia-Turkiye collaboration.

Together, let’s pave the way for an extraordinary future of innovation, co-creation, and commercialization.

We are excited to share with you all about the visit to the 4 Miri shipyards that took place on 9th March 2023. We visited Sarawak Slipway, Nam Cheong Dockyard, Berjaya Dockyard, and Shin Yang Shipyard, and it was truly an enlightening experience.

AMIM Management Committee Members, shipowners, and representatives from Petronas join us on this occasion. A few AMIM members were also present to participate in the visit.

During the visit, we were pleased to learn about the progress made on all 11 Safina 1 vessels, and it was truly an eye-opening experience to see the hard work put in by the shipyards.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all who joined & support us on this visit. Your support and participation helped to make this visit a success.

We had a wonderful time bonding over great networking and conversation.

The trip has made a positive impact and given confidence to Petronas and PACs in showing Malaysia’s capability and capacity in Shipbuilding and ship repair.

This will give a boost in confidence in implementing Safina Phase 2.

Most vessels are ahead of schedule and all vessels are targeted to complete 1 month to 3 months ahead of the contractual schedule.
