Industry Engagement: Preparation of the Shipbuilding Ship Repair (SBSR) Industry Report 2025 SBSR Industry Cluster in Malaysia February - November 2024
Between February and November 2024, the Industry Development Division of MIGHT visited various shipyard clusters across Malaysia, focusing on both the commercial and defense sectors, to gather insights for the preparation of the SBSR Industry report. These visits were crucial for assessing the current state of the industry and identifying key areas for growth and development within its sub- sectors. One of the key findings highlighted the critical importance of improving design capabilities to ensure that vessels meet global
standards. In the commercial SBSR sector, specific segments such as Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs), merchant ships, port operations vessels, tugboats, and fishing boats emerged as significant contributors to the industry. Aligning these sub-sectors with international demand and standards offers substantial growth potential. In the defense sector, the MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) and refit of vessels that support national security and maritime operations are vital for ensuring readiness and longevity. This sub-sector is essential for Malaysia’s maritime strategy and requires strategic investment in both skills and infrastructure. The SBSR report, scheduled to be launched at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2025, will serve as a key reference for SBSR stakeholders. The report aims to provide actionable insights, guiding stakeholders in capitalizing on growth opportunities and strengthening Malaysia’s SBSR industry for the future.
