New Ship Building
Building Process
Design
The design is classified into basic design and detailed design. Based upon this drawings, we start shipbuilding.
Assembly
It is inefficient to construct a huge ship at a time, so we adopt the block construction method which we divide the blocks according their size and assemble in the shipyard.
Outfitting
Outfitting means to equip the completed hull with pipes, an engine, and interiors and electric wires.
Lofting
The design drawing is written by being scaled down and omitted, so we cannot cut a steel plate based on this drawing.
Block Installation
We install and joint assembled blocks by right order on a building berth by a crane, and assemble them in the form of the final ship.
Trial
After finished the outfitting, we apply performance tests such as a vessel speed and the turning by running a ship actually, and confirm to be satisfied with the contracted specifications between the owner and our shipyard.
Numerical Control
Based on a model made by lofting, NC cutting is the work to actually cut out the form of the parts from steel plates.
Painting
When the assembly is over, the painting begins. The painting plays a big role not only to improve the appearance of the ship, but also in the safety to prevent from corrosion.
Delivery
A ship leaves the shipyard and sets sail for the ocean at last. On that day, all crews gather and people of various nationalities come and go in our shipyard.
Bending
A ship consists of complicated curved surface, so we need to bend the steel plate because it is a plane.
Launching
When the block installation and the painting are over, a ship is floated on the sea for the first time. The building berth inclines to the direction of the sea like a slide and we let a ship slide on it and float on the sea.
