Precision Control of Block Pre‑Outfitting – From Millimetres to Micrometres

Precision Control of Block Pre‑Outfitting – From Millimetres to Micrometres

Block pre‑outfitting is one of the core technologies of modern shipbuilding. Installing piping, cable trays, equipment foundations and other outfitting items at the block stage can significantly reduce work at height and cross‑operations in the...
Cold Bending of Hull Frames – From Template to CNC

Cold Bending of Hull Frames – From Template to CNC

Frames are an important part of the hull framework, and their bending quality directly affects the fairness of the hull shape. Traditional cold bending of frames relied on templates and manual experience, with operators repeatedly...
Fixture and Cradle Design – The Invisible Cornerstone of Block Fabrication

Fixture and Cradle Design – The Invisible Cornerstone of Block Fabrication

Block fabrication cannot be separated from cradles. The cradle is a temporary structure that supports the weight of the block, and its accuracy and stiffness directly determine the ability to control distortion during welding. Jiangsu...

Compartment Insulation and Interior Outfitting – Creating Comfortable Living Spaces for Crew

Crew members work and live at sea for extended periods. The comfort of accommodation spaces and public areas directly affects their physical and mental well‑being and work efficiency. Compartment insulation and interior outfitting not only...
Ship Launching Technology – A Smooth Transition from Slipway to Floating Dock

Ship Launching Technology – A Smooth Transition from Slipway to Floating Dock

Ship launching is a critical milestone after the completion of the building period on a slipway or in a dock. It marks the transition of the hull from land‑based support to a floating state. The...
Installation and Testing of Life‑Saving Appliances – The Last Line of Defence

Installation and Testing of Life‑Saving Appliances – The Last Line of Defence

Life‑saving appliances are the final line of defence for ship safety. In an emergency, the reliability and availability of lifeboats, liferafts, lifejackets, and rescue boats directly determine the crew’s chances of survival. The International Convention...
Ship Inclining Test and Stability Verification – From Onboard Measurement to Precise Loading

Ship Inclining Test and Stability Verification – From Onboard Measurement to Precise Loading

Ship stability is the fundamental guarantee of safe navigation, directly affecting the vessel’s resistance to capsizing in waves and the flexibility of cargo loading. The inclining test is a mandatory verification task that must be...
