How to Contact SCS Shipyard and Request a Quote

Updated

You can reach South China Marine Limited (SCS Shipyard) directly by phone at +852 2541-1282 or by email at [email protected], both listed in the site header on every page. For a formal vessel enquiry, the site also provides an Ask Quote link and a Contact page. Before you call or write, it helps to know which vessel class or service you need, because SCS positions itself as a developer of specialized, high-quality special ships rather than a general-purpose yard.

The phone and email appear in the header alongside the "Est. 1975" mark, so they are the yard's primary published contact points. The site does not state response times, so treat any timeline as something to confirm in your first message.

What to Prepare Before You Ask for a Quote

SCS describes itself as covering design, construction, and sale of vessels, with in-house design capability through its Ship Design and Research Institute. A useful enquiry therefore states:

  • Vessel type and role — for example a platform supply vessel (PSV), anchor handling tug (AHT), ASD tug, or oil barge.
  • Key dimensions and power — the site's own product highlights include a 60M PSV, a 4400BHP MERV, a 14,000DWT class oil barge, and 6000PS AHT, so quoting comparable figures helps SCS match your request to its portfolio.
  • Class and ice notation if relevant — recent news covers a 5200PS Handysize ASD Tug with Ice Class IA during sea trials, which signals experience with ice-class work.
  • Delivery expectations and operating region — SCS is Hong Kong-based with a stated 50 years of shipbuilding experience (and a shipyard history cited at 70 years), serving customers globally since 1990.

Including these points in your first email or call reduces back-and-forth and lets the yard tell you quickly whether your project fits.

A Practical Sequence for First-Time Enquirers

  1. Scan Services and Products to see whether your vessel category appears under One-Stop Service or the Product Catalogue.
  2. Check News for recently delivered or trialled vessels — the ASD tug sea trial items are a good indicator of current build activity.
  3. Send a short email to [email protected] with the vessel type, principal dimensions, power, and class requirements, and ask for an initial indication of feasibility and next steps.
  4. Follow up by phone at +852 2541-1282 if you need to confirm receipt or discuss timing.
  5. Use Ask Quote once you have a defined specification and want a formal quotation.

Common Sticking Points

  • No published price list. The site gives no pricing signals, so expect quotation to follow a specification review rather than an online estimate.
  • No stated login or portal. Enquiries go through phone, email, or the quote link; do not assume a customer portal exists.
  • Language. The site offers Traditional and Simplified Chinese alongside English, so Chinese-language correspondence is an option if that suits your team.
  • Scope clarity. Because SCS emphasizes specialized and high-tech, environmentally focused vessels, a general commercial vessel enquiry may be redirected — confirming fit early saves time.

For a straightforward start, email a one-page specification to [email protected] and call +852 2541-1282 to confirm it arrived.
