Heaven on Earth
I chanced upon this endless stretch,
which they think is a barren land.
Not for mortals to appreciate nature’s bounty,
it’s only the fortunate who this exquisite
fertility understand.
Dear fellowmen I want to share this treasure,
lets build a sprawling port,
ships and a few leisurely boats,
and on earth too we shall dwell in heaven.

Indian Shipbuilding vis-à-vis Far East Shipbuilding
� Equipped with in house Design & Engineering capabilities, outsourcing is limited.
� Fully developed R&D centers locally with model testing tanks, etc.
� Build large conventional and large specialist vessels.
� CAD/CAM and ERP use to a greater extent, they are moving towards Computer Integrated Manufacturing.
� Appropriate training and induction process are practiced to maintain the inflow of quality man power.
Far East Shipbuilding(Japan, Korea, China)
� New Design Facilities
� Keppel has opened its design office
� AB Marine getting global
� L&T- ship design
A Good Beginning
� R&D facility to be generated. (NSDRC &
NSTL can take up such a task jointly)
� Yards expanding for large conventional vessels.
� CSL, HSL, ABG and Chowgule are
outsourcing their detail engineering. It’s a good beginning can take up in house detail engineering at later stage.
� India has largest number of non resident & non practicing Naval Architects. Lucrative & Work friendly environment to be created for young graduates to take up shipbuilding assignments locally.
What is being/needs to be done?
� Unavailability of Design & Engineering capabilities
� No exposure to R&D
� Confined mostly in small conventional & small specialized vessels.
� Use of CAD/CAM and ERP limited
� Scarcity of qualified professionals.

Far East Shipbuilding(Japan, Korea, China)
� HSL has acquired 3 more NC cutting machine, ABG,CSL, etc have it and others will acquire in their expansion process.
� Cannot have local availability of raw materials unless volume increases
� Labour productivity needs to be looked into seriously.
� Supply chain has to be strengthened
What is being/needs to be done?
� Labour oriented, skill based

Capacity Expansion Plans of Indian Yards
� Cochin Shipyard: planning to invest around Rs. 1.6 billion to develop:
� Open building space with provision for launching powered by a hydraulic system;
� Additional fabrication facilities
� 20-30% increase in the yard’s capacity.
� ABG Shipyard: investing Rs. 3.75 billion for setting up a new shipyard in Dahej, Gujarat. It
is expected to be operational by 2007. The new yard will be able to:
� Build vessels up to 300 m length, including Aframax and VLCCs
� Adopt state-of-the-art shipbuilding technologies and
� Production integration through CAD/CAM & ERP
� Bharati Shipyard is investing in expansion and modernization of its Ratnagiri shipyard at
an estimated cost of Rs. 650 million. On completion, the yard will:
� Build vessels of a maximum length of 170 m, including Handysize
� Have a dry dock of 176 x 33meters instead of wet dock
� Raise the capacity of its gantry crane to 120 tons with a span of 50 meters
25-Nov-05 i-maritime 15
New yards proposed
Pipavav Shipyard
� Sea King International Limited (SKIL) announced plans to establish a large shipbuilding yard. Last year, there
were reports that the company was negotiating with some of the leading international shipyards. SKIL is
considering development of its 200-acre land at Pipavav, Gujarat, to build four docks of 350-metre by 65-
metre size. The docks would be able to build, repair and dry dock VLCCs, ULCCs, LNG carriers, offshore
platforms, rigs and large container ships.
Adani Shipyard
� The Ahmedabad-based, Adani Group owned shipyard plans to build a ship repair and shipbuilding yard at
Mundra in Gujarat involving Rs. 16 billion (US$ 364 million). The facility will build vessels of diverse ranges —
tankers, bulkers, container ships — and sizes up to 100,000 dead-weight tonnage (DWT). The operations are
expected to commence in 2007.
L&T Shipyard
� India’s engineering construction giant, Larsen and Toubro is said to be pressing ahead with its plans for
building a large shipyard capable of building conventional merchant vessels. Unconfirmed reports list
Mangalore and Pondichery as possible locations. L&T is also one of the bidder for take over of the shipyard of
Alcock Ashdown Gujarat Ltd., at Bhavnagar. L&T has already made forays into naval ship construction and
ship design services.
25-Nov-05 i-maritime 16
New yards proposed
Cochin Port Trust plans a large shipyard
� Cochin Port Trust (CoPT) has floated a global tender, inviting international shipyards to set up a ship repair-
cum-shipbuilding yard at Cochin. CoPT plans to execute the project through either the Build, Operate,
Transfer (BOT) or the Joint Venture (JV) route. An area of 19.2 hectares has been earmarked in the Special
Economic Zone (SEZ) of the Puthuvypeen region. The yard would be able to build Panamax vessels and
VLCCs.
All major ports in India are expanding, with shipyard facility as an integral part of their
business plan.
25-Nov-05 i-maritime 17
Government’s Policy initiatives on Shipbuilding
� Reserve Bank of India now releases foreign exchange for ship repair/dry docking and spares for
imported capital goods without any value limit.
� 30% subsidy for export orders of all sizes and domestic orders in case of vessels of lengths 80 m
and above (effective till April 2007). We estimate it to be 15% after 2007 and phase out after 2012.
� 100% FDI allowed in shipbuilding and Joint Ventures encouraged
� National Maritime Development Policy (NMDP), which has not been ratified yet, envisages:
� Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in shipbuilding and ship repair activity.
� Duty free import of all equipments to be fitted in ships built at Indian yards.
� Long term subsidy support (up to 20-30 years).
� Support to ensure availability of indigenous steel for all Indian shipyards.
� The proposed policy would encourage ancillary units to support ship repairs and ship construction. Without
strong ancillary back up, the shipbuilding and ship repair will not be able to generate additional employment
and compete with global shipyards.
� PSU shipyards to be given freedom to device their own procedures for procurement and make them
comparable with the private sector.
