Our Story
Northern Shipyard Sdn. Bhd. (833013-W) (NSSB) began with a vision of maritime excellence in 2012. By 2015, this vision took shape with the launch of our state-of-the-art facility in Bukit Malut, Langkawi. From day one, our mission was clear: to set new standards in vessel repair and maintenance, serving a diverse clientele that demands both precision and quality.
Our journey is deeply rooted in the legacy of Langkawi Ferry Services Sdn. Bhd. (410704-H) (LFS), our parent company, which has been a leader in ferry services for over 25 years. The expertise and commitment that defined LFS became the foundation for NSSB, driving us to uphold the highest standards in every project.
As our reputation grew, so did the complexity of our work. We made a name for ourselves with significant projects like the refit and hull extension of 45-meter catamaran ferries and the construction of a 57-meter Catamaran RoRo, achieved through a key partnership with a collaborator in Batam, Indonesia. Our ability to deliver exceptional results was highlighted when we were chosen to build four Fast Patrol Craft for Suncraft International Pte Ltd and the Nigerian Navy.
Langkawi’s role in our story is pivotal. Positioned on a tax-free island at the heart of Asia, our location offers not just cost efficiencies but also seamless access to global shipping routes. Here, clients experience not only superior service but also the luxury of top-tier resorts and the natural beauty of a tropical paradise.
Today, NSSB continues to write its story with a commitment to excellence. We work closely with vessel designers worldwide to bring to life a range of designs, from agile RHIBs to large RoRo vessels. Every project reflects our dedication to quality, driven by our expertise and skilled craftsmanship. At Northern Shipyard, we’re not just building vessels; we’re crafting maritime excellence.
