Thailand
Strategically located to the north of the Malacca Strait, Thailand has become an increasingly busy maritime hub and a key link in the chain of globalisation from east to west.
Thanks to its favourable labour costs and its proximity to other important maritime nations such as Singapore, Thailand is now home to at least a dozen large shipyards. Furthermore, recent government regulations are likely to see the growth of Thailand’s superyacht industry.
