Association
The South African Association of Ship Builders & Repairers (SAASR) is a voluntary association established for purpose of improving the industry for members and all persons who work in the industry, with specific regard to health & safety and the preservation of the environment.
Ship building and ship repair has always been one of South Africa’s lucrative industries and more especially, a huge job creator for various trade types. While the industry itself often ebbs and flows, it remains to be a valuable contributor to the South African economy and for foreign investment.
