Asian Marine Services Public Company Limited (ASIMAR) is a Thai company specializing in ship repair and shipbuilding services. The company is listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and operates two major shipyards in Thailand. Its primary shipyard is strategically located on the Chao Phraya River in Samut Prakan Province, providing access to the Gulf of Thailand.[1]
History
The company was established on May 13, 1981, initially operating as a marine survey and consultancy firm. Recognizing a growing demand for high-standard ship repair services, ASIMAR transitioned its business and acquired its first floating dock, "Asimar 1," from Japan in 1987. The company expanded its capacity further by acquiring a second, larger floating dock, "Asimar 2," from Germany in 1995.[2]
ASIMAR became a public company limited and was listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand in August 1994. In 2016, the company opened a second shipyard in Surat Thani Province to better serve clients operating in the southern regions of Thailand.[3]
