The design process for a ship is primarily concerned to ensure successful, safe operation to meet the owner’s requirements. Increasingly in order to build the ship efficiently and at the lowest possible cost, design has expanded to include all the detailed information needed for production. Working alongside other functions, the designers can help to reduce costs by matching the design as closely as possible to production capabilities. This includes making use of standardised materials and parts where possible, maximising the sizes of units and blocks and arranging the equipment and services so that as much work as possible is completed in the workshops. This has considerable potential to reduce costs and the time taken for construction of the ship.
