VNS provides ship repair services in Cam Ranh Port, Vietnam, supporting general cargo vessels, bulk carriers, and other commercial ships calling at the port and anchorage. Our services include mechanical and structural repairs, underwater inspection and cleaning, and engine and electrical work. We also handle tank cleaning, marine equipment servicing, spare parts supply, and load testing, with arrangements coordinated around vessel schedules, access conditions, and applicable port requirements.
Cam Ranh Port, formerly known as Ba Ngoi Port, sits within Cam Ranh Bay in Khanh Hoa Province — one of Vietnam’s largest and deepest natural harbours, roughly 25 nautical miles south of Nha Trang. The port is operated by Cam Ranh Port JSC. Its wharf system totals around 700 metres across two main berths and two auxiliary berths, able to handle up to five vessels alongside at once. Cargo through Cam Ranh centres on general and bulk commodities — principally cement and asphalt on the import side, and agricultural products, sand, and salt on the export side. Vessel size accepted varies by source and berth, generally cited in the 30,000 to 70,000 DWT range.
Ship Repair For Vessels Calling At Cam Ranh
A bulk carrier loading sand or agricultural cargo works to different conditions than a general cargo vessel discharging cement or asphalt. Each call, therefore, has its own handling and safety requirements. VNS scopes each job against the vessel and cargo type involved, rather than applying a single port-wide routine. Before mobilizing, we confirm the vessel’s ETA and ETB, working location, access requirements, and any applicable port or terminal permit requirements. We then agree the scope of work directly with the vessel’s Master or Chief Engineer.

VNS provides underwater hull inspection and cleaning, carried out by experienced commercial divers, subject to terminal and port requirements. Our underwater team can carry out propeller polishing, underwater welding and steel repair, and underwater replacement of selected equipment such as echo sounders and speed logs. UWILD and other underwater survey work can also be arranged where permitted by the vessel’s classification society and applicable requirements.
Tank Cleaning & Waste Disposal
Where required by the vessel’s operation or maintenance schedule, VNS can arrange tank cleaning and waste-related services for vessels calling at Cam Ranh. This includes ballast tank cleaning, bilge water removal, fuel oil and cargo tank cleaning, and sludge or slop disposal, subject to applicable requirements and licensed waste-handling arrangements.
Navigation, Safety & Equipment Services
Navigation equipment repair, communication equipment servicing, and GMDSS/VDR annual survey and inspection are available alongside firefighting and lifesaving equipment servicing. Where possible, this work is coordinated into the same visit as other repairs, so it doesn’t require a separate call at Cam Ranh.
Marine Spare Parts
For vessels calling at Cam Ranh, whether at berth or anchorage, getting the right part on board quickly can determine whether a repair can proceed. We source and arrange delivery of engine equipment, navigation equipment, hydraulic equipment, and electrical equipment. This also covers engine and deck stores, marine tools, safety materials, and deck and cabin supplies, according to the vessel’s requirements and available delivery window.
Load Testing & Survey Support
Load testing can be arranged using load cells and water bags for deck cranes, provision cranes, engine room cranes, monorail cranes, and accommodation ladders. We also support ship condition surveys and general audits. Where certification is required, we coordinate directly with the relevant classification society.
VNS supports ship repair and marine service requirements at ports and anchorages across Vietnam. We confirm service arrangements in Cam Ranh according to the vessel’s berth or anchorage position, schedule, and required scope.
