Abstract

Proposed paper is a short description of the activities taken to create the tools for the prediction of the hull manufacturing parameters at the early stage of ship designing. It includes the stages of steel preparation assembly and erection of the hull. The key characteristics of hull manufacturing process will be defined to allow the planning of the building. The relationships will be presented linking the basic ship parameters as known in early stages of design (type of the vessel, main dimensions, block coefficient) with those characteristics. The final remarks indicating the further topics development will conclude the paper. 1 Introduction The designing and engineering in modern shipbuilding is running under strong time pressure raised up by hard competition bet
