1️⃣ Strategic turning point to elevate Vietnam's industry

On April 23, 2026, Petrovietnam and Samsung Heavy Industries officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Geoje - Korea's largest shipbuilding center

This is not just a normal cooperation but a strategic step
✔️ Upgrade shipbuilding capacity and Vietnam's marine industry
✔️ Participate more deeply in the global energy supply chain
✔️ Accelerate the development of LNG, offshore wind power and oil and gas infrastructure

The greatest meaning
Vietnam is shifting from the role of exploitation to mastering technology and value chains



2️⃣ Focused cooperation content - straight to the core of technology

The two sides focus on three main pillars

✔️ Specialized shipbuilding
LNG ships, oil tankers, offshore service ships

✔️ Energy industry
Drilling rigs, FPSOs, offshore wind power platforms

✔️ Supply chain and technology transfer
Train engineers, localize production, improve technical standards

These are fields with high profit margins and extremely complex technology requirements



3️⃣ Compare capabilities with global competitors

National Enterprise Strengths Scale
Samsung Heavy Industries Korea LNG, FPSO, high-tech vessels Top 3 in the world
Hyundai Heavy Industries Korea Builds diverse ships with high capacity. Largest in the world
Daewoo Shipbuilting & Marine Engineering Korea Top military and LNG ships globally
China State Shipbuilding Corporation China Large output, low cost No. 1 in output

In cooperation with Samsung Heavy Industries
Petrovietnam is choosing partners with the highest technology instead of just chasing costs



4️⃣ Economic opportunities - direct benefits for Vietnam

Impact Category
Shipbuilding industry Increase localization, reduce import dependence
Jobs Thousands of engineers and highly skilled workers
Export Join the global LNG ship value chain
Energy Proactive LNG and wind power infrastructure
Technology Approaching international standards

Forecasting relevant market value

Global Value Sector
LNG ship ~350,000 billion VND per year
Offshore wind power ~2,000,000 billion VND
FPSO and drilling rig ~1,200,000 billion VND

If utilized well, Vietnam can gain a significant market share in the next 10 years



5️⃣ Strategic perspective - why this moment is extremely important

✔️ The world is lacking LNG ships due to the energy crisis
✔️ Demand for offshore wind power is exploding
✔️ The global supply chain moves away from China

Vietnam is standing at the "golden falling point"

If not join now
The opportunity will fall into the hands of Korea, China or Singapore



6️⃣ Long-term impact - changing the structure of the energy industry

This cooperation can create

✔️ Complete marine industrial ecosystem
✔️ LNG shipbuilding center in Southeast Asia
✔️ Energy technology export platform

This is a step that helps Vietnam move closer to its industrial national goalmodern



7️⃣ Conclusion

Petrovietnam's cooperation with Samsung Heavy Industries is more than just a memorandum of understanding

This is a “technology jump”

This is an opportunity for Vietnam to enter the global playing field

And is the foundation for the new generation energy industry

One deal can shape an industry for decades
