Cai Mep is one of Vietnam’s major deep-water port areas. It sits roughly 50 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, within the wider Vung Tau maritime area. Terminals here — including Cai Mep International Terminal (CMIT) and the Tan Cang Cai Mep terminals — serve some of the world’s largest container vessels. These vessels work tight berth-window schedules that leave little room for delay. VNS provides ship repair and marine services in Cai Mep Port. Our work covers hull and structural repairs, deck machinery, underwater inspection and cleaning, electrical and hydraulic repairs, navigation equipment, and marine spare parts. As an experienced ship repair company in Vietnam, we also support vessels calling at Phu My, Thi Vai, and other major Vietnamese ports.
Working Around A Container Terminal Schedule
Container vessels calling at CMIT and Tan Cang terminals often work tight berth windows. We plan ship repair in Cai Mep around the vessel’s confirmed schedule. Before mobilizing, our engineers confirm the job with the vessel’s Master or Chief Engineer and plan around the confirmed berth time. They also identify which work can safely proceed alongside, subject to port and terminal requirements. This helps avoid interference with cargo operations.

Underwater Inspection & Repair
Underwater repair in Cai Mep is one of our core capabilities. Our experienced commercial divers can carry out inspection and minor repair work alongside the berth, subject to port, terminal, vessel, and weather conditions.
For container vessels with limited time alongside, underwater inspection, hull cleaning, and propeller polishing can offer practical alternatives to a longer stay or drydock. Depending on the applicable requirements, our scope may also include underwater welding and steel repair, as well as underwater surveys such as UWILD where permitted by the vessel’s classification society.
Navigation, Safety & Equipment Services
We handle navigation and communication equipment repair and calibration, including GMDSS and VDR systems. In addition, our services cover annual surveys and inspections, as well as firefighting and lifesaving equipment.
Where possible, this work is scheduled alongside other repairs to avoid the need for a separate vessel visit.
Marine Spare Parts & Load Testing
For a container vessel with a narrow port window, getting the right part on board quickly can determine whether a repair can proceed. We source main and auxiliary engine parts, hydraulic and electrical components, and safety equipment on short notice. We also fabricate ventilation ducts and sheet metal components where needed. Our team carries out load testing using load cells and water bags for deck cranes and accommodation ladders, along with ship condition surveys and general audits. We coordinate with classification societies where certification is required.
