Abstract

A considerable increase in the quality level and, at the same time, less costs in production and assembly in shipbuilding can only be expected if systematic solutions are put on a scientific basis and realised consequently. The main components of this method of approach are quality management, system of tolerances, system of values of expected shrinkage and system of accurate fit- up marking. A method for sections of the parallel midship area will be introdu- ced, the practicability of which has been proved in practice. 1 Introduction The elements of the ship's body (individual parts, subassemblies, plane and curved flat sections, volume and block sections) are
