Exhibition Overview:

The 2026 Vietnam International Maritime & Shipbuilding Exhibition (VIMOX) is a premier professional event for the shipbuilding and maritime sectors in the Ho Chi Minh City region. It brings together international shipbuilding firms, maritime companies, and marine equipment suppliers in Ho Chi Minh City—Vietnam’s largest city, economic and financial hub, and major port. Showcasing the latest developments in shipbuilding, maritime transport, and offshore industries, the event stands as a significant occasion for Vietnam's shipbuilding, offshore engineering, and shipping communities.

I. Requirements Facing Marine Bearings

First, the challenge of corrosion from seawater and salt spray.

Coastal environments feature significant temperature fluctuations, high humidity, and intense seawater impact and corrosivity. Manufacturers must apply anti-corrosion treatments—such as black oxide coating, phosphating, or zinc spraying and painting—to the surfaces of slewing bearings.

Second, exposure to complex, heavy, and cyclic impact loads.

Bearings for offshore cranes and single-point mooring systems must simultaneously withstand axial loads, radial loads, and massive overturning moments. Continuous vessel movement caused by wind and waves subjects bearings to cyclic impact loads; consequently, manufacturers must employ quenching and tempering processes to enhance the bearings' hardness and performance.

Third, the need for customized bearings for non-standard equipment.

Shipyards across Southeast Asia utilize a wide variety of equipment brands, and most slewing bearings are non-standard models. Manufacturers require robust design and R&D capabilities to provide tailored bearing solutions for these specific needs.

Fourth, wear within the bearing cavity caused by the ingress of silt and seawater.

Offshore environments contain numerous fine impurities, placing high demands on bearing sealing designs and materials. Competent marine bearing manufacturers must independently design multi-stage labyrinth seal structures, select seawater-resistant rubber materials, and develop sealing solutions adapted to specific equipment types.

Fifth, the requirement for formal classification society certification for marine equipment.

Marine slewing bearings require certification from bodies such as ABS, DNV-GL, CCS, BV, or RINA. Many small and medium-sized bearing manufacturers hold only basic ISO9001 certification.

Sixth, high maintenance costs for offshore equipment.

Offshore equipment maintenance is expensive and time-consuming. When selecting a slewing bearing manufacturer, buyers place great importance on design capabilities and certifications. They evaluate the manufacturer's production expertise—covering bearing structure, sealing, lubrication, and anti-corrosion treatments—to minimize risk and cost.

To address these six industry challenges, LTZC Bearings has established a comprehensive, closed-loop production line. We create modular, adaptable slewing bearing solutions tailored to specific operating conditions, providing customized bearings designed for every category of offshore machinery.

II. LTZC Bearings: Comprehensive Manufacturing Capabilities

2.1 Full-Range Slewing Bearing Manufacturing Capabilities

LTZC’s manufacturing facilities are capable of producing slewing bearings and slewing rings ranging from 100mm to 15,000mm in diameter. This range covers everything from bearings for small-to-medium shipboard equipment to massive, heavy-duty bearings for SPM (Single Point Mooring) systems. Our well-equipped facilities enable us to deliver fully customized bearing solutions.

2.2 Proprietary Heat Treatment Processes for Precise Hardness Control

Heat treatment is critical to the wear resistance and impact strength of slewing bearings. LTZC operates its own independent CNC induction hardening production lines, a key strength in our manufacturing capabilities.

2.3 Specialized Marine Bearing R&D Team

Our dedicated technical R&D team specializes in developing slewing bearing solutions. We customize bearing structures, sealing systems, and lubrication configurations to meet specific customer requirements.

2.4 Industry-Standard Certifications

LTZC Bearings holds certifications from ISO9001, BV, CCS, DNV-GL, ABS, and RINA. All marine slewing bearings comply with relevant standards for marine crane slewing bearings. For every batch of marine bearings, we provide material certification, flaw detection reports, and hardness test reports.

III. Customized Bearing Solutions for Marine Equipment

Leveraging its robust bearing manufacturing capabilities, LTZC delivers tailored slewing bearing solutions designed specifically for the operating conditions of offshore equipment in Vietnam.

3.1 Slewing Bearing Solutions for Shipboard Deck Cranes

Deck cranes on various cargo and engineering vessels are constantly subjected to dynamic overturning loads caused by wind and waves, as well as salt spray corrosion. LTZC offers customized solutions—including adjustable hardness levels, anti-corrosion coatings, and thickened seals—to facilitate seamless spare part replacement for customers.

3.2 Slewing Bearing Solutions for Port Cranes

Port cranes require round-the-clock operation, often exceeding 8,000 working hours annually. LTZC utilizes heavy-duty three-row roller slewing bearings, leveraging its manufacturing expertise to extend the service life of bearings used at port terminals.

3.3 Heavy-Duty Bearing Solutions for FPSO Platforms and SPM Systems

LTZC manufactures bearings ranging from 100mm to 15,000mm in diameter and provides comprehensive documentation—including magnetic particle inspection, heat treatment, and finished product inspection reports—to ensure the safe operation of offshore oil and gas equipment.

3.4 High-Precision Bearing Solutions for Azimuth Thrusters

LTZC’s slewing bearings for azimuth thrusters enable flexible 360-degree rotation. Featuring precision-ground bearing clearances and customized underwater waterproof sealing structures, these bearings ensure stable steering and maneuverability for vessels.

Tailor-made bearings solutions for your equipment

IV. VIMOX 2026 Exhibition: Showcasing LTZC Bearing Solutions to Customers

The VIMOX 2026 maritime exhibition, held in Ho Chi Minh City from October 21–23, 2026, serves as a key platform for LTZC to demonstrate its bearing manufacturing capabilities and promote its slewing bearing solutions and customized bearing services.

At our booth, we will showcase three-row roller heavy-duty slewing bearings, high-precision crossed roller bearings for rudder propellers, and slewing rings for port machinery.

We cordially invite representatives from local Vietnamese shipyards, offshore engineering contractors, port equipment procurement managers, ship repair companies, and maritime component distributors to visit our booth. You are welcome to bring equipment drawings or specifications for existing bearings to discuss tailored slewing bearing solutions directly with our R&D engineers, as well as to explore non-standard custom bearing production, long-term volume procurement, and regional distribution partnerships.
