Primary Group Commits ₱1B Investment to Build Bohol’s Largest Shipyard

The Primary Group of Builders (PGB), through its marine construction arm Artemis Marine and Industrial Construction, Inc. (AMICI), has invested over ₱1 billion in building the largest shipyard in the Visayas and Mindanao, located in Barangay Cruz, Buenavista, Bohol. Spanning 19 hectares, the AMICI Marine Shipyard offers advanced ship repair and dry-docking services, employing over 300 workers—80% from the local community. Equipped to service up to 12 vessels simultaneously, with plans to expand capacity to 20, the facility has already handled 40 vessels since securing its Class B license from MARINA in 2022. The project is seen as a major driver of economic growth, job creation, and investment in the province, complemented by PGB’s expansion of its SKILLS training center to develop a skilled maritime workforce.
