Seacrest Marine

What Seacrest Marine does

Seacrest Marine Co., Ltd is a privately held Thai shipbuilder established in 1988 and headquartered at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River in Samut Prakan, approximately 30 kilometers from central Bangkok. The company designs and constructs custom vessels in steel, aluminum, and fiberglass across monohull and catamaran configurations, producing patrol boats (10m to 42m), special-operation craft with NIJ Type III bulletproof armor, passenger ferries, dive support vessels, ASD tugboats with bollard pull ratings from 10MT to 50MT, cutter suction dredgers, hopper barges, and crew boats. All major vessels are built to Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas classification standards, and the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 37001 certifications alongside Thailand's Green Industry Level 3 designation (awarded March 2025).

The business operates on a project-based, build-to-order model with revenue generated from one-off vessel construction contracts and ongoing ship repair, modification, and refurbishment work. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales: government contracts are won through formal Thai public-procurement tenders with agencies such as the Royal Thai Police, Royal Thai Marine Police, Royal Thai Navy, Customs Department, Port Authority of Thailand, and Department of Marine and Coastal Resources; commercial vessels are sold directly to private ferry operators and offshore service companies (e.g., VELOCEAN in Indonesia). Two directors, Taweepol Ha-meng-korn and Thanapat Ha-meng-korn, retain hands-on involvement across the entire construction process, and marketing is conducted primarily through the corporate website and a video gallery of launching ceremonies rather than paid channels.
