INTRODUCTION

This is an Overview of the 2002 Report on Survey of the U.S. Shipbuildingand Repair Industry.

The Report is the result of the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) 2002 surveyof the U.S. marine construction and repair industry.

The shipyard classifications and definitions are based on the joint U.S. Navy andMARAD 1982 Shipyard Mobilization Base Analysis (SYMBA). SYMBAestablished 1982 as the base year for subsequent annual studies anddetermined that only facilities with build or repair positions 375 feet (114 meters)or greater would be included in the Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base. Thisshipyard capability parameter was increased to 400 feet (122 meters) in 1985.The term “Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base” used in this Overview issynonymous with the Shipyard Mobilization Base referred to in the SYMBA.There are, of course, many more shipyards active in shipbuilding than thosedescribed in this Overview, please note that only those shipyard facilities whichmeet the above definition have been included.

During 2002, the Major Shipbuilding and Repair Base saw an increase of oneshipyard, a decrease of two shipbuilding or repair positions and a decrease ofapproximately 2,000 production workers.

If you have any questions or want to receive a copy of the 2002 Report onSurvey of the U.S. Shipbuilding and Repair Industry, please contact the Office ofShipbuilding and Marine Technology, Attention Daniel Seidman at(202) 366-1888 or by e-mail at [email protected].

SHIPYARD CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS

Active Shipbuilding YardsThe Active Shipbuilding Yards is comprised of those privately owned U.S. shipyards/facilities, that areopen with at least one building position capable of accommodating a vessel 122 meters (400 feet) inlength and over, and are currently engaged in the construction of naval ships and/or major oceangoingmerchant vessels 122 meters (400 feet) in length and over.

Shipyards With Build PositionsShipyards With Building Positions are those privately owned shipyards/facilities that are open with atleast one building position capable of accommodating a vessel 122 meters in length and over, and thathave not constructed a naval ship or major oceangoing merchant vessel in the past two years. Theshipyards may not be capable of ship construction without significant capital investments.These shipyards could, however, be used in module ship construction.

Repair With DrydockingRepair (with drydocking) facilities are those shipyards that have graving docks, floating drydocks ormarine rails capable of handling naval ships and/or major oceangoing merchant vessels 122 meters inlength and over. These shipyards may also be capable of constructing vessels less than122 meters in length.

Topside RepairTopside repair facilities are those shipyards that have sufficient berth/pier space, including dolphins, toaccommodate a naval ship or major oceangoing merchant vessel ships of 122 meters in length or over.These shipyards may also be capable of constructing and/or drydocking vessels less than 122meters in length.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTSThe shipyard must own or have in place a long-term lease (1 year or more) on the facility in which theyintend to accomplish the work. There must be no dimensional obstructions in the waterway leading toopen ocean (i.e., locks, bridges). Water depth in the channel to the facility must be a minimum of3.7 meters (at Mean Low Tide {MLT}).

NOTEThe following criteria were developed to establish the maximum ship size that could be accommodatedin each drydock:

For floating drydocks, the maximum ship length is as given by the shipyards. The maximum beamis determined by allowing a 0.6 meter clearance at each side between the ship and wing wall.

For graving docks, the maximum ship length is determined by allowing a 0.6 meter clearance ateach end between the ship and the inside of the dock at the floor. The maximum beam wasdetermined by allowing a 0.6 meter clearance on each side between the ship and each side of thedock entrance at the sill, unless the shipyard indicated more clearance is required.

There are several types of floating drydocks and graving docks, and under certain circumstancesadditional clearance would be necessary between the ship and the dock body. Permissible ship sizesrequiring additional clearance may be determined by simple calculation from the above criteria.
