WORKSHOP ON CHALLENGES IN WARSHIP-CONSTRUCTION


Over the past 45 years, there has been a unparalleled change in the technology and equipment insertion which has occurred in warship construction at WOTs. This is compounded with adoption of offloading in a large way by shipyards, causing sea change to process of ship delivery beyond BR 1921. There is a need to revisit QC/QA methodology at shipyards by WOT further to BR 3129. The subject also needs to be addressed from point of view of the ‘Sailor at Sea’ calling for introspection into the mechanism in place for post delivery support by shipyards of a New ship as mandated in the contract. The aim of this workshop is to assess the efficacy of the present processes and provide a platform and bring out requirement for course corrections, in realm of QA/QC,, Third party inspection and Guarantee support for, Warship construction Project of Indian Navy in 21 st century.
