Basic Design It mainly includes the preparation of the drawings and documents Hull surface model. Hydrostatic, capacity, stability & maneuvering calculations. Model & Tank Testing. General arrangement. Mid ship section. Build Specification. Preliminary Design It mainly includes the structural strength aspect of the ship. Global strength of the ship Local strength of the ship. Still water condition & in Waves condition. Detailed Design It mainly includes the arrangement of the stiffeners used in the ship. In this portion a detailed 3D model is generated and from these the required drawings to be sent to the work sites are generated. This is an essential process to simplify the production process. Design Work in CSL The Design department in CSL deals with only Detailed design .The Basic, Preliminary design drawings and calculations are obtained from firms such as STX Europe, Rolls Royce, Seds. Then from these production drawings (3D) are generated by TRIBON. Tribon is a family of programs that create and refer to a common set of databases containing the design details of the ship. Together, these databases are used to depict a 3D model of the ship, with embedded information for all of the parts of the design, from ship structural elements to pipe segments to equipment. Many common ship design elements, especially equipment, can be downloaded from databases. The software brings about an increased degree of inter department cooperation, as each department modifies the same model and we can observe any collisions and route pipes and cables accordingly.

HSD This is the part of the design team that models all the stiffeners, frames, brackets etc. They provide the structural members that provided strength to the hull form. The structure is of any ship is always designed for a maximum structural load which is based on the draught which is called a scantling draught. HOD This is responsible for the equipment, pipe routing and outfitting in the parts of the ship other than the accommodation and engine room. They majorly have to generate 3 major items to provide to the production yard the schematic, the yard plan the MLF. The schematics for each system are outsourced from different firms. The 3D model generated is used to generate the yard plan. These contain the exact positioning and length of each type of pipe equipment. These are sent to the production yard. Along with these a MLF i.e. Material list of fittings is created. AOD This team in design is responsible for all the outfitting in the accommodation section of the ship. The AOD team makes a list of all the requirements of the accommodation region right from the floors and panels to the bathroom fittings and piping. They gauge the requirements for the accommodation region and make an indent of these to the materials department. Then there is a call for a bid. These bids are technically evaluated and then those that are technically certified are selected and the one with the lowest price bid is selected. At times the entire accommodation works are outsourced to other companies. MOD It stands for the Machinery Outfit Design. They are responsible for the design of the equipments, pipings, etc, in the engine room and propulsion room. Along with the preliminary design, the firms like STX also provide the engine and the type of propulsion used. These are provided in the schematics or the key plans. The MOD team models all the piping and equipment in the engine room and propulsion room. In some modern vessels like PSVs which run on electric power, the engine room houses the DGs (Diesel Generator). In some cases the basic design firm only specifies the speculations of the engine, in these cases an indent of all the required Indian Maritime University, Visakhapatnam campus Page 8

equipments is made and this is forwarded to the materials department, which takes care of its procurement. EOD The EOD team is responsible for the design of all the electrical equipment present in the entire ship as well as for all the cabling in the ship. They are responsible for all the electrical systems design, which constitute almost all the systems in the ship. EOD has to play a coordinated role with the other design departments. The EOD designs the location and position of the cable trays. The cable trays contain the all the cables attached to it by a tightening band. The cable trays are designed to minimize the usage of cables. There is a main cable tray which runs from the forward to the aft of the ship. This has some trays which branch out and reach all the necessary areas. The cabling schedule is done manually by the EOD team. The scheduling decides how much length of wire has to be drawn from cylinder and for which connection. This is done keeping in mind, the aim to have minimum wastage of cable. Functional Design Functional design includes the preparation of following drawings and documents. Most of which requires for owner and class approvals. Hull structure key plans. Scantling Calculations. Access arrangements. Mooring arrangement plan. LSA and FFA plan. Ventilation and Piping diagrams. Wiring diagrams. Machinery arrangement. Propulsion System. Accommodation Plan. Painting Scheme. Purchase order specifications.

Summer Internship Training HULL SHOP

In Cochin Shipyard Limited steel plates are processed and manufactured into panels for building a ship. Also they are called plates, sheets and layers. These panels are prepared in prefabrication chamber by welding elemental sections together that are being processed in hull shop where in turn steel plates and sections are processed in hull shop that are being brought from steel stock yards where all steel plates and sections are being stored. In Steel Stock Yard the steel plates and sections are stored in the form of stacks or piles which further are taken to hull shop and prefabrication chamber for the preparation of ship panels. Hull Shop In this shop marking, cutting of elements to the various sizes and forming them into different shapes as per requirement and marking them unit wise for feeding to the sub assembly and assembly shop is done.. The principle material used for hull construction is mild steel. For the ship building purpose, the plates and sections are usually made of mild steel containing 0.15 to 0.25 % carbon and 0.4 to 0.7 % manganese, phosphorous 0.035 to 0.06 %, sulphur 0.03 to 0.06 % strength of from 26 to 32 tons/Sq.inch with an elongation of 16 to 20 % in 8 inches lengths depending upon the thickness of the plate. Generally steel drawing office will allocate the material as per the schedule. The steel stores will issue the material in requisition of Hull Shop. All plates are then mangled, shot blasted and painted. At This process is being done to prevent corrosion. Markers will mark the plates and sections with the help of templates and drawings. They will write complete process on marking, material, type of edge preparation, forming, cutting lines, dispatching, destination, etc...Other elements are marked on the steel plates using the wooden templates prepared in mould loft and cut in other gas cutting machines. There are Hydraulic presses with various capacities and up to maximum 2000Tons forming the plates. Rolling machines, cold frame bending machines, shearing machines, cambering machines, straightening machines, Plate preparation plant, section preparation plant etc. are the important machines in the shop which have the capacity to produce elements up to 2500Tones per month. The elements proceeded in the Hull Processing shop and assembly units inspected for their workmanship of the steel complex, dimensional accuracy by the quality control of the steel complex and presented to the classification society surveyor for inspection are lore they dispatched to block storage area or berth for assembly erection.

Treatment Line Steel plates are first transferred to heat treatment line to de-scale the plates from rust, dust and impurities. It is the first step for any plate before it used for any process in the hull shop. The de-scaling process also includes a hydro leveler and spray painting section. In plate treatment line steel plates are processed under various machineries to make them fit for production of ship panels. The following are the various machinery sections that are present in the plate treatment line. The complete step to step procedure is shown alongside. Captivator Hydro-Leveler Captivator Heating Chamber Blasting Chamber Hydro-Leveler Spray Painting Section Drying Chamber Heating Chamber Captivator Blasting Chamber The steel plates from the steel storage yard are lifted onto the captivator by a magnet and placed onto the inclined Spray Painting portion (the head section) of the captivator. The head Section section consists of three important rollers namely free Drying Chamber roller, magnetic roller and motorized roller(s).

Hydro-Leveler A hydro-leveler is an 80 ton capacity hydraulic powered machine to level the plates and free them from any curves, bends and distortions so as to make the plate perfectly flat. Specifications Hydraulic pressure Hydraulic medium Working pressure Test pressure centre beam Working pressure centre beam Test pressure Working pressure Test pressure Down/Up Speed Heat Chamber The plates are then moved into a heating chamber where they are heated so as to remove moisture content and other liquid material such as oils from the surface of the plates. Blasting Chamber Blasting is an important step in the heat treatment line. It removes all the impurities on the surface and makes the surface clean and pure. It consists of 8 roto blasts, four on top and four on bottom. Small spherical grits made of mild steel are made to incident on plates with great force and high velocity. This will result in the removal of rust and mill scales. The grit is fed from overhead tank then into motor (impeller). It has axial entry and radial exit. Its equipment is used for the purpose of removal of rust and dust particles from the plate. Spray Painting Unit The blast is equipped with micro computer which enables paint spray in both directions i.e. top and bottom after cleaning. This has 8 numbers airless spray film thickness of 25 microns can be achieved. The treatment line is also provided with the pre heater before shot blasting and drying chambers after painting. Painting is done to avoid corrosion of plates. Using two nozzles on the top and two on the bottom, spray painting is done. Paint to the nozzle is supplied by the pump. There are two pumps one will supply paint to the top nozzle and the other will supply to : : : : : : : : : 315 Bars and 100 Bars Mineral oil Centre beam (doxvn) 315 Bars 395 Bars 100 Bars 125 Bars 315 Bars 395/395 Bars 3-4 m/min

the bottom nozzle. The paint used is zinc rich prime (costlier, long life, 9-12 months), zinc silicate primer (cheap, short life, six months). The hull shop consists of Gas Cutting Machines Hydraulic press Plate and Structural Rolls Machine EOT Cranes Conclusion Plates coming from the steel complex [assed to hull shop through automatic system by using sensors in conveyor rollers]. The plates are processed and they are transferred to the fabrication department for the making of panels and frames etc. Generally Hull shop acts as the BACKBONE OF SHIPYARD. Sub-Assembly & Assembly Fabrication is the primary stage of work. The material that is processed in the bays of the hull shop is transported with help of EOT cranes to the prefabrication chamber. Initially the elemental sections that are being transported are marked individually, these marked products are segregated according to the marking and they are kept aside. Now using different EOT cranes these parts are supported so that welding can be done upon them so that these panels can be together as a complete ship panel.

Working Process The shaped and cut sheets from the hull shop are obtained by this division and subassemblies are done for a desired panel. Further all these sub-assemblies are combined together and are aligned together according to the panel drawings. Quality checks and surveys are done at each stage to ensure good quality and integrity of the sub-assemblies and assemblies. After getting clearance for full welding (i.e., after fit up survey) the assemblies are welded together and again are inspected for integrity surfaces. Advanced outfitting is also performed after this process. In pre-fabrication department small sections and sometimes block will be constructed as per the working drawings (WDS) issued by drawing office (through PP & PM). The real construction works starts here only. In pre-fabrication department the major work is drawing related welding process and other joining process after construction of small sections in term big panels shifted to erection department sometimes to ships birth will be done. In pre-fabrication shifting of

completed blocks can be done with overhead sliding crane in assistance with KMAG trailers. The term sub assembly means the assembling of different elements of the panel for main assembly stage, usually to high state of completion. These can be described into two groups such as large sub-assemblies and light subassemblies. Examples Large sub-assemblies Double bottom Deck Fore peak units After peak units Side shell Bulk heads etc. Light sub-assemblies Auxiliary stools Girders Pillars Accommodation bulk heads etc. Advantages of the sub assembly method Allocation of work on over hanging staging. Welds normally over head or horizontal may be made in the down hand or vertical position giving increased speed of welding and better quality. Easy access obtained to sub parts as could bottom, fore peak, cruiser stern etc.Work on the units can be commenced and progress before the ship would normally be ready for such work. Welding in sub assembly The processes which are being followed in CSL, they are as follows CO2 TIG Manual arc welding In the sub-assemblies, plates are generally laid on skids and plate ends are clamped or dogged down to skids after setting to the correct position to prevent distortion, generally without interfering with shrinkage.

Summer Internship Training ERECTION

The process of construction and assembling of panels in the building dock or building berth is called as erection. Usually pre-fabrication is followed by erection. Steps involved in erection process Preparation of berth/ building dock Marking of reference lines Placement of blocks Erection of panels Alignment of panels Consolidation Survey

Before welding edge preparation is done for proper welding. In welding, panels are welded together.

Summer Internship Training OUTFITTING

They are three types of outfitting methods UNIT OUTFITTING ON-BLOCK OUTFITTING ON-BOARD OUTFITTING UNIT OUTFITTING Unit outfitting are modules which can be assembled separately in workshop skids and are independent of block construction. Unit outfitting is carried to reduce the On-board outfitting works. Efficiency of unit outfitting is almost 5 times as that of on-block outfitting is term of man-hours. Necessity to divide outfitting works into smaller Modules Lack of material or too many material supplied at a time shall lead to production delay. Hence it is necessary to divide the outfitting work in suitable lots by the stage and zone into on-unit, on-block, and on-board modules. Consequently, it is required that the fitting drawings and their material lists (mlfs) are separated in accordance with the stage and zone work packages (modules). ON-BLOCK OUTFITTING Outfitting carried out during fabrication of hull blocks. ON-BOARD OUTFITTING Outfitting work carried out to complete the outfitting works after erection of hull block in dock. Material Control during Outfitting The most important thing for outfitting work is that the Only Necessary Quantity of the Correct Materials be supplied to the Required place at the Right Time. Material List of Fittings (MLF) is a list of all outfit components required for a particular stage/zone outfitting. The types of MLF as follows UNIT MLF BLOCK MLF ON-BOARD MLF Block MLF Block MLF contains items which can be fitted in block stage like manholes, hatches, ladders, equipment seats, anodes, gratings, cable trays; pipe pieces vent ducts, supports, penetration pieces, valves etc.

Summer Internship Training

PALLETISATION Process of grouping Outfitting materials required for a particular stage/zone outfitting as per the respective MLF is called Palletisation. For a ship, outfitting is done in different areas. Engine room outfitting Deck and hull Outfitting Machinery Outfitting Accommodation Outfitting For various outfitting we have different mlfs for example engine room outfitting requires engine room document etc. The major inputs are from pipe shop and sheet metal shop. Pipe Shop In pipe shop various types of pipes are fabricated, welded, painted and galvanized according to utility and need. Pipes are cut as per the drawings. In cutting acetylene is used for ferrous materials and plasma for non ferrous materials. We use CNC cutters mostly. We have pipe bending machines to achieve 2D, 3D, 4D bend etc. Sheet Metal Shop In sheet metal shop we have shearing machines for cutting plates of different dimensions. Press break machine for sheet bending. Rolling machine to roll the metal plates into pipes. Drilling machine for drilling.
