WEIGHT CONTROL AT ULSTEIN SHIPYARD, NORWAY, SAWE Paper No. 3244 Category No. 13

摘要

Traditionally weight control has not been a high priority task in Norwegian shipyards. But during the last years more and more contracts have included weight related claims that cannot be ignored. More efficient weight control has been important to meet the new demands. In 1999 BAS engineering and Ulstein Verft launched a project called "Weight Control During Ship Construction". The project's initial objective was to make the process of obtaining weight information for weight control as effective as possible during the construction of the vessel. To achieve this, establishing procedures to exploit information in existing data models was considered one of the main goals. However, as the project was progressing it turned out that in order to increase the value of the obtained results, a complete weight control procedure had to be made for the shipyard.
