The construction of the ship was carried out by Nam Trieu Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of the Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (SBIC). The process proceeded smoothly: the launch took place on May 11, 2024, and sea trials were completed on December 4, 2024. The vessel was handed over on December 26 to Dong Bac Shipbuilding Industry JSC, which will be responsible for its operation from the port of Hai Phong.
"Truong Minh Dream" is a double-deck bulk carrier with five cargo holds, equipped with four cranes, each with a lifting capacity of 30 tons, and hydraulically operated hatch covers. The main engine, designed by MAN, was manufactured in Japan.
During the handover ceremony, an order was announced for two more ships with the same capacity, aligning with the Vietnamese government’s strategy to develop the country's maritime economy. The construction of a series of 65,000 DWT bulk carriers aims to strengthen Vietnam's position in the global shipbuilding and shipping markets.
