Go Gia Anchorage, located at coordinates 10°31'48"N / 106°59'47"E, is the inner anchorage of Ho Chi Minh City. This position makes it a vital area for vessels waiting for clearance, undergoing inspections, or requiring urgent technical assistance before entering or after leaving port. Thanks to its calm sea conditions and clear water visibility, Go Gia has become an important location for underwater works and onboard ship repair activities.

For more than twenty years, Bacviet Commercial and Shiptech Joint Stock Company has provided international shipowners and managers with professional marine services across Vietnam. At Go Gia Anchorage, we maintain a permanent response capability, allowing our repair teams to board vessels day and night, even during weekends and holidays.

1. Why Go Gia Anchorage Matters

Unlike large seaports equipped with extensive dry-dock infrastructure, Go Gia Anchorage functions as a holding point where tankers and bulk carriers can safely remain on standby. Because of its water depth, proximity to Ho Chi Minh City, and sheltered conditions, the anchorage is particularly suitable for:

Underwater inspections and hull cleaning, where divers require stable conditions.
Onboard repair works, carried out while the vessel waits for cargo operations or formalities.
Delivery of spare parts and ship stores, supported by fast connections to Ho Chi Minh City and nearby industrial areas.

These local characteristics make Go Gia one of the most reliable anchorages for performing essential repair services without delaying the vessel’s schedule.

2. Bacviet’s Approach at Go Gia

Bacviet provides not only technical expertise but also a logistics and coordination advantage at Go Gia. Our approach focuses on:

Rapid boarding: technicians can join a vessel within two to four hours after confirmation.
Round-the-clock operations: teams are available twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year.
Integration with classification societies: surveyors from Lloyd’s Register, Class NK, ABS, DNV and others can attend directly at the anchorage.
Efficient supply chain: spare parts and materials are delivered quickly from Ho Chi Minh City or Vung Tau workshops by service boat.

3. Real Service Experience

In June 2025, Bacviet carried out an urgent hydraulic system repair on a 75,000 DWT oil tanker anchored at Go Gia. The vessel reported serious leakage in one of its crane cylinders, which threatened to delay cargo operations.

A Bacviet team of seven engineers boarded within four hours.
The hydraulic cylinder was dismantled, seals were replaced, and the system was pressure-tested onboard.
Total repair time: sixteen hours.
The tanker proceeded to Ho Chi Minh City port without delay, avoiding costly off-hire penalties.

This example demonstrates how Go Gia Anchorage can serve as an efficient floating repair station when supported by an experienced service provider.
