Ships and other large, marine vessels are complex structures. They operate in a wide range of harsh environments and carry out 90% of the world’s trade and resource exploration activities. Even small ships have a complex structure, including systems for propulsion and operation, cargo handling and crew support. Ships have a long life, during which their harsh operating environment places heavy demands on their repair and maintenance to keep them operational. Whether non-marine engineers, or support staff involved in contracts and logistics, all can benefit from a practical understanding of the overall shipyard business. This 2 day course is designed to provide essential knowledge in shipyard management and the various operations taking place – ship design, shipbuilding, repairs & maintenance, conversion and retrofitting. This includes the early ship design and contracting stage, following up to the post contract, ship construction and production up until project completion and handover phase. Prepared by an international leading specialist in marine technology and construction, the material covered in the in the various course modules explains the different shipyard processes and operations involved in a clear and straightforward manner
