I don't know if this is closely enough on topic, but here goes.

I'm considering building small trucks for coastline communities and I was curious about the feasibility of using Naval brass for the frame since it's going to be around sea water a lot.

I was hoping this community could provide some insight into potential problems that I might otherwise overlook.

I just wonder what are the best ways of increasing the building time in shipyard?

like you have unlimited money so can bring any machine or system to there and build something?

Yacht designers. How do I become one? do I go to college or what? I'm really fascinated by yachts, and lately I've been figuring out a career path I can go down. This seems to be it. I'd love to get some pointers. Thanks

I'm wanting to break into ship design/CAD work, and I want to have at least one certificate in ship building-specific CAD or 3D modeling software. Does anyone have an online course they can recommend?

can anyone help determine what it is and what brand it is? I saw it today at the shipyard, I can't determine what brand this one has

Hello everyone,

I'm seeking assistance in optimizing techniques to minimize deformations in hull blocks during lifting and turning. Here are the key points:

1. Need insights: Looking for expert advice on efficient techniques for lifting and turning large hull blocks. What were the main points that must be considered during lifting and turning?
2. Technology solutions: Interested in advanced equipment or technologies that can reduce deformations.
3. Structural analysis: Seeking methods to predict and mitigate deformations through structural analysis.
4. Case studies: Any relevant case studies or success stories from previous projects would be highly beneficial.

Hey guys, I'm working on a school project, but I am missing one dimension, I am looking for the freeboard of the uss Missouri, if anyone can help I hope it would be you guys

Hi,

I'm curious as to how bad is it if a ship is weighed and is over 150t from designed weight.

Thanks

So, a few friends and I have come together with the desire to build a brigantine style ship to fit 4-6 people relatively comfortably. I’m trying to research dimensions, and the only information I can find on the keels of these ships is the length. How thick were they? Was there a standard, or does it depend on the size of the ship?

"I've always had a passion for metalwork and machining. I hold an undergraduate degree in engineering and have experience with two-stroke engines, warehouses, and lathes. Now, I'm keen on the idea of building a ship large enough to carry a container and accommodate a crew. Any recommendations for good resources to guide me on this journey? Also, I'm curious about the regulations and laws governing the ocean. Appreciate any insights or advice!"

The World's Largest Shipbuilding Companies

When we talk about shipbuilding, the largest projects and companies are often associated with the seas and oceans, particularly in the realm of maritime cargo transport.

Another significant sector involves the construction of cruise ships and pleasure boats. The construction of passenger vessels is just as crucial as the manufacturing of commercial cargo ships.

Despite the economic downturns and the financial instability inherent in the maritime industry, which can lead to waves of highs and lows, global demand continues to grow steadily.
