Terengganu’s longstanding reputation for artisanal boatbuilding presents unique opportunities for investors to revitalise traditional craftsmanship into a modern, high-value niche.

ECERDC welcomes investments that enhance facilities on Pulau Duyong and surrounding areas, supporting training programmes, product diversification and heritage-based tourism experiences.

These initiatives preserve Malaysia’s maritime legacy while creating new income opportunities for local communities. By investing in heritage boatbuilding, investors contribute to a sustainable cultural economy that combines craftsmanship, tourism and innovation within ECER’s dynamic coastal development landscape.
