| Abstract | This study was conducted to investigate the existing
steel shipbuilding and repairing industry in Thailand. The
purposes were to survey the problems and difficulties raced by the existing shipyards and to suggest recommendations and
appropriate solutions to those problems. Twelve shipyards,
concerned organizations and relate personnel were visited
for the information collection. After the detailed study
there were cross comparisons , recommendations an d solutions
were then prepared and simultaneously checked for their
feasibility.
The results showed that the existing shipbuilding and
repairing industry was in its initial stage of development.
There was a low level of mechanization in the shipyards,
especially in the fitting and material handling system.
Besides fulfilment or the shipyard's basic requirements, the major technical improvement area was the introduction of the
hull. block construction method with the concept of the
production assembly 1.ine and the ships transferring system
between the main facilities and the building or repairing
berths. The feasibility investigation showed that such
improvement is possible provided that suit able necessary
supports and the market are favorable. |
