Hyundai Heavy Industries has recently introduced a revolutionary shipbuilding technique known as the Wet Dock Series Shipbuilding Method. This innovative approach significantly reduces the time required to complete a ship without requiring additional investments in facilities or increasing workforce size. Traditionally, when a ship is launched from a dry dock, other vessels under construction in the same dock may float due to water being pumped in, halting work and delaying the overall project. However, with the new method, ships can be launched smoothly without disrupting ongoing construction. This allows for continuous operations within the dock, improving efficiency and productivity. According to reports, before filling the dry dock with water, the main engine and propeller are installed on the ship under construction. The hatch is closed, and the bridge is secured to increase the ship’s weight, preventing it from floating when water is introduced. This enables workers to continue their tasks without interruptions, maintaining the schedule without the need for extra equipment. The technology is said to reduce the docking cycle by up to 20%. So far, Hyundai has successfully constructed seven ships using this method, including a 10,000 TEU container vessel. The company is now planning to implement the technique in its newly completed No. 10 dock. In November of last year, Hyundai filed a patent for the method, and in January of this year, it was granted a patent in South Korea. The company is also working on securing patents in China, Japan, and India. This advancement not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions Hyundai as a leader in modern shipbuilding technologies, setting a new standard for the industry.
