The Vietnam People’s Navy required its first modern hydrographic survey vessel to map national waters, support oceanographic research and operate for extended periods in shallow coastal waters and monsoonal conditions. We provided a proven HSV 6613 design and our Damen Technical Cooperation (DTC) model, enabling local construction at the Song Thu Corporation shipyard with knowledge transfer and a materials package from Damen.
