Abstract:

Much has been published over the years about technology and productivity in shipbuilding and much also about the shipbuilding market and its potential. Little has been published to-date however about the all important tech no-economic interface between the two. This paper sets out to explore this interface and to identify how a shipyard can be matched to its external environment through the adoption of a coherent strategy. The elements of external forces are considered in particular prices and market volume and the internal factors within the control of a shipyard are examined to review how they can be utilized in a strategic sense to match a shipyard to a targeted market sector.
