Service
Support for Shipyard Facility Design
We support the planning and development of shipyards and ship repair facilities both in Japan and overseas.
Plans include equipment capacity planning, demand forecasting for new and repair ships, and profitability analysis based on long-term cash flow.
It is also possible to use simulators to study routes to the facility and safe berthing methods.
Purpose
- Planning and implementation of shipbuilding and repair facility projects in developing countries
- Planning and implementation of shipbuilding and repair facility projects for domestic government agencies and private companies
Features
01
Propose appropriate equipment capacity based on demand forecasting
02
Collaborate with marine civil engineering consultants to consider shipyard layout and equipment specifications
03
Prepare long-term cash flow and examine medium- to long-term business profitability
04
Use the latest simulators to study routes to the shipyard and calculate safe berthing
ODA Shipbuilding and Repair Facility Planning for Developing Countries
In developing countries with insufficient land infrastructure, people often rely on ships for transportation and goods delivery. Ships are an important part of their daily infrastructure. However, there are few proper shipbuilding and repair facilities, and most lack sufficient equipment and technology.
When such countries plan to build or renovate shipbuilding and repair facilities, Japan Marine Science supports realization as a government ODA project. If adopted as an ODA project, we conduct preparatory and detailed design studies, and on behalf of the local agency, support contractor selection and construction supervision.
Domestic Shipbuilding and Repair Facility Planning
We support the creation of business plans for new shipbuilding and repair facilities in Japan.
Business planning starts with examining demand for new and repair ships, proposing optimal equipment capacity. We collaborate with marine civil engineering consultants to consider shipyard layout, facility content, and scale, helping to reduce project costs. We also conduct long-term financial analysis to support your business plan.
Example:
Mirai Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.: Established by the merger of five shipyards in Kesennuma that suffered severe damage in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. This is a new and innovative shipyard using a shiplift. Japan Marine Science was responsible for everything from initial business planning to construction supervision.
