in sections Explanation: This is a long tangled story and much of it is online, public domain. It concerns https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorías_Vulcano_S.A. and the building of several ships for seismography, one being "NB 534" or later "PGS Apollo". My best guess is that work commenced in Gijón which was closed and that sections were sent (probably by road) to El Musel where construction was completed. The boat the sailed to Vigo and was delivered normally from there. But I could be wrong about some of that. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days1 hr (2015-10-25 13:43:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note that hulls can be delivered before the boat become seaworthy e.g. "se realizará el traslado del casco de acero, construido en el astillero de Lisnave, en Setúbal (Portugal) desde El Musel al dique seco de Naval Gijón, donde se finalizarán los trabajos de armamento" and "The hull was delivered in March of 1992 in a Maersk shipping container to the Kalmar Nyckel Shipyard in Wilmington" |

Reference: Blocks Reference information: Are you sure the vessel was moved in blocks/sections in the water, and not on land? Block construction is a modern shipbuilding method which involves the assembly of prefabricated sections. Cross-sections of the superstructure are pre-built in a shipyard, taken to the building dock (or slipway,) and then hoisted into position and attached. Some of the more equipped shipyards are able to build equipment and utilities into the blocks, pre-installing pipes, plumbing, and electrical cables. The more components that can be built into the blocks before final assembly, the less effort required once the hull is welded together. http://www.marinelink.com/article/shipbuilding New knowhow and equipment make it possible There are different installations and equipment for building ships on-land available both inside and outside of China. Among them is the Hercules giant block moving and location equipment system invented and developed by shipbuilding experts including Fang Yue Hua in China, which has secured close to 20 national patents and owns the proprietary intellectual rights. The system is comprised of a series of different equipment including a localiser, a rail transporter system, a giant block lifting device, a rudder pulp installer and a floating tank ship launching device. Operating on the basic principle of an oil-pressure jack, the localiser can lift from several dozen to a few hundred tonnes. The cylinder head of a 3D-localiser can afford displacement on axis X, Y and Z in a 30, 50 and 100cm space. When several of them are used together, blocks from a few hundred to several thousand or tens of thousands of tonnes can be lifted and be moved freely in a range of 6degs in a small area, making it possible for very precise positioning of heavy blocks. When it is not lifting weight a localiser can move around on the ground; when it is carrying weight, it can be placed on a rail transporter system and moved to the right place. http://www.rina.org.uk/On-land_shipbuilding_works_on_new_kno... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2015-10-23 12:17:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- CIG makes top quality blocks for a wide range of vessels, mainly for shipyards. Whether it's for a offshore support vessel, accommodation crane barge or container ship, our experts design and build any form of ship's hull based on precisely the details you require. See our delivered projects list for an overview of all our delivered projects. For current activity at our production sites, please see the current activity overview. PRECISELY FORMED BLOCKS Depending on the scope of the project we design and manufacture various blocks for your vessel. This will take pressure from your own production capacity. The result is a semi-manufacture of extremely high quality that you can finish at your own shipyard. http://www.centralindustrygroup.com/maritime/shipbuilding/bl... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2015-10-23 12:48:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps 'in blocks'. I'm not really sure and I'm not in front of a computer at the moment, so I can't check. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2015-10-23 16:31:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Modern shipbuilding makes considerable use of prefabricated sections. Entire multi-deck segments of the hull or superstructure will be built elsewhere in the yard, transported to the building dock or slipway, then lifted into place. This is known as "block construction". The most modern shipyards pre-install equipment, pipes, electrical cables, and any other components within the blocks, to minimize the effort needed to assemble or install components deep within the hull once it is welded together. Ship design work, also called naval architecture, may be conducted using a ship model basin. Previously, loftsmen at the mould lofts of shipyards were responsible for taking the dimensions, and details from drawings and plans and translating this information into templates, battens, ordinates, cutting sketches, profiles, margins and other data. However, since the early 1970s computer-aided design (CAD) became normal for the shipbuilding design and lofting process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipbuilding#Present_day_shipb... The correct term seems to be '(prefabricated) blocks or sections', and the building method is called 'block construction'. |
