Shipbuilding opportunities: Malaysia has a long way to go in modernising its fishing fleet, with much room to upgrade tens of thousands of old wooden boats to steel or composite ones.

AS the nation becomes more prosperous, the demand for fish in the country is expected to grow. This makes it essential to modernise our fishing fleet if we are to meet the increased demand.

However, Malaysian fishermen should not only invest in brand new steel or composite fishing boats, but also source them from local manufacturers, say the Association of Marine Industries of Malaysia (Amim).
