Shipbuilding and the shipyard Evolution of today

The wooden ship was constructed on a building berth, around which timbers and planking were cut and shaped and then fitted together on the berth to form the hull. A similar practice was followed with iron vessels and, later, with the earlier steel ships, as these tended to be replicas of wooden hulls. Gradually iron came to be used more effectively in its own right, rather than as a substitute for timber.

Shipbuilding industry has a very specific character as compared to that of any other manufacturing industry. Ship building involves usage of a wide range of equipment, materials and skills. The very size of ships makes it different from other industrial products. The huge size along with the required fittings and fixtures depending on the type of the vessel, it calls for a huge manhour requirement. It calls for a very wide variety of materials to be used in ship construction.
