New Technologies for Hull Assemblies in Shipbuilding

The modern stage of shipbuilding industry development is characterized by an intense competition and the beginning introduction new materials effective welding technologies, which change appearance this quite conservative field, at leading global enterprises. In particular, application laser technologies during ship construction decreases cost hull manufacturing 30%, increases production capacity 10%, reduces deformations 30% compared to traditional methods. composite for allows decreasing weight leads 1-7% decrease in fuel consumption, reduction polluting emissions significant saving expenditures. Adhesion-bonded joints become more frequently used shipbuilding, as they off er a possibility joining different along with advantages brought adhesion process itself, being reliable, cost-efficient ensuring easy maintenance repair.
