South China Marine Ltd

South China Marine Limited (SCS) is a Hong Kong-headquartered vessel developer whose predecessor was the South China Shipbuilding Group. The company states over 50 years of shipbuilding experience, with a Ship Design and Research Institute set up in Guangzhou in the 1980s and a long record of supplying tugs, barges and reclamation craft to Hong Kong owners — including vessels used on the Airport Core Project and the Rose Garden Project. In 2005 SCS acquired a Chinese state-owned shipyard founded in 1957 and renamed it South China Shipyard, forming an integrated design, build and sales group. Hong Kong-based South China Marine Ltd handles management and sales of all SCS vessels.
