BC, Canada, Thursday 8th July 2004
Albacore Research Ltd. (ARL) announced the signing of
VINASHIN Engineering and Technology Joint Stock Company
(VINASHIN E&T) as the dealer for its flagship
ShipConstructor software product for the Vietnam market.
Under this agreement, VINASHIN E&T will be the sales,
support and training contact for ShipConstructor in
Vietnam. ShipConstructor is the easy-to-use,
AutoCAD-based 3D product modeling software for the
design and fabrication of complete ships and offshore
structures.
“After testing ShipConstructor throughout our entire
company, we were so impressed that we approached ARL
about becoming a dealer,” said Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung,
Director of VINASHIN E&T. “Because ShipConstructor runs
inside of AutoCAD and is fully scalable to clients’
needs, the software’s minimal training requirements and
flexibility offer several advantages over other design
software.”
VINASHIN E&T specializes in the creation, research
and transfer of scientific and technology applications
for the shipbuilding industry, including the development
of production design software for all of its
subsidiaries, and the design and test production of
high-tech machinery for the shipbuilding industry.
“VINASHIN E&T is a strong partner for ShipConstructor
in the Vietnamese market”, said Mr. Rolf G. Oetter,
Founder and President of ARL. “I am confident that
ShipConstructor‘s capabilities combined with
VINASHIN
E&T’s established presence as a member of the biggest
shipbuilding and repair state-owned company in Vietnam
will help Vietnamese builders make a great impact on the
international shipbuilding arena.”
