Shipping and shipbuilding scenario evaluations through integration of maritime and macroeconomic models

This research focusses on the use of consistent scenarios to help ship owners, banks and other parties with an interest the maritime business get a better grip on the future. Three levels of detail can be distinguished for the maritime industry. The macroeconomic level is the highest and focusses on the behaviour of countries and the trade...

Evaluating the appropriateness of product platforms for Engineered-To-Order ships

In this thesis the "knowledge void" regarding the appropriateness of a product platform approach for Engineered-to-Order ships is evaluated with the use of the ES3P method, developed in this research.

Automatic Generation of Assembly Sequence for the Planning of Outfitting Processes in Shipbuilding

The most important characteristics of the outfitting processes in shipbuilding are: 1. The processes involve many interferences between yard and different subcontractors. In recent years, the use of outsourcing and subcontracting has become a widespread strategy of western shipyards. There exists not only the vertical relationship between a yard...

Controlling enigneering-to-order processes in shipbuilding, a model-based approach

Engineering-to-Order processes in shipbuilding are characterised by their results: unique ships built on customer specification. A challenge is the control of such processes: the combination of complex technical solutions, a large quantity of specialist engineers of different parties, highly interrelated âconcurrentâ tasks, continuous exchange...
