Ship industry is one of the sectors which can develop a country. It still has a good opportunity nationally and internationally onward. You may ever wondering about how to make a ship. According to its distinctive character, it needs complex processes in making a ship. Besides, the made by order from some functionaries such as cruise industry or even the government make this ship making becomes worth. But let’s focus on how to make a ship itself. There are some steps or process in making this huge transportation below.

The Mould Lofting Step

There are actually more complex explanation about how to make a ship in detail like the contract side, shipyard, fabrication, or design. But in this article, the explanation will be more focus on the technical processes so that you can imagine and understand it easier. Let’s start from the first step of how to make a ship by knowing mould lofting. To avoiding the mistake in making a ship, a good plan of how to make a ship from the design and fabrication need to pay attention about. That’s what we call as mould lofting which is useful to make a proportional ship. In mould lofting, there are still some steps such as marking, cutting, forming and welding.

The Assemblying Step

After all the components in the mould lofting step finished, then it comes to next step of how to make a ship. The steel plate and rolled shape will become into clear and bigger formation. They will be in the form of blocks. To make the materials into one, it needs the welding process for the made of steel ship.

The Erection Step

After the assembling step, all the blocks are arranged in the shipyard. Of course it also needs to taped to each other. But it will need a proper process from the front until back part of the ship. It starts with the rudder stock, rudder, and the parts in the middle. After that, connecting blocks for the stern is necessary to do. This process of how to make a ship will be completed by protecting the stainless steel and some parts from corrosion.

The Launching

After all the previous steps, launching the ship becomes the last step in how to make a ship. When the ship already reaches the upper building and pass some tests like leak and radiography, the construction will be doing on the surface of the water.…
