ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Firstly I wish to express my gratitude to all the concerned personals
without whose generous cooperation and coordination, it would
have been very difficult for me to have a successful training
experience in the organization

I would like to thank Mr. Ramdas MP (deputy manager
training) for giving me a opportunity of implant training, which
would help me to enhance my technical skills and helps me a lot
besides technical aspects

I am grateful to the management of Cochin Shipyard
Limited for giving me an opportunity. Finally I would like to thank all
the CSL personals who helped me out in intensifying my technical
knowledge and provide satisfactory solutions to my questions.

Air Defence Ship
Types of ships under construction are

Platform supply vessel

Ship building department consists of 3 sections which are
Hull shop
HE and GA
Out fit
Hull shop
The Hull Shop is self-contained with infrastructure required for fabrication of
hull blocks up to 50 T. The shop is provided with EOT cranes (50 T) for along
the bay movements and gantry crane (20 T) and trailers for across the bay
transfer of materials.
The four processes that take place in the hull shop are
Preparation
1. Plate preparation : The mild steel sheets are picked
from steel yard and is fed into the hull shop for further
processes
2. Sectional preparation : different sections are prepared such
as I-section, T-section, brackets etc
Sub-Assembly
In this stage the sheets are joint by welding etc
Assembly
This shop has telescopic sliding roof with gantry cranes of
300 T and 150 T which spans over it and building dock. Hull blocks
up to 450 T can be jumboized here and erected in the building
dock using the gantry crane. In addition, two 20 T capacity EOT
cranes are there in the shop.
Grand Assembly
Here parts more than 50 T are assembled


Hull Erection and Grand Assembly
After assembly, the blocks more than 50 T are welded together in grand
assembly shop or in dock. This parts are joined together to form ships hull
its called hull Erection. And the reaming grand assembly is done after hull
erection
Activities
Grand assembly
Erection of hull blocks
Reaming grand assembly works
Fit up of erected blocks
Welding and Grinding
Testing

Outfitting
After completing hull erection and grand assembly outer frame is over.
And we have to place other equipments, pipes valves, engine, interior works
controlling measures etc. This is done through outfitting

Different outfitting are
Machinery outfitting
Electrical outfitting
Accommodation outfitting

UTILITIES AND MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
For the processes of ship buildings and repairing to go about smoothly,
they require the U & M department. The main objectives of the U &M
department are
1. Upkeep of machinery in the various department of CSL
2. Acting as liaison for CSL and conducting statutory tests
3. Providing utilities like raw materials, electricity, transport etc

Transport section
This section is responsible for the testing of the vehicles, crane and
other transports and making the availability for use
This section also provide taxi services for officers

The vehicles under transport section
150/100 T transporter : this vehicle can be driven from both sides ,
two corner wheels for driving and other wheels for controlling and
breaking , all wheels can be controlled independently
Forklifts: use fluid coupling and is front wheel is driven and the
rear wheels are for steering. Hydraulic power is used to lift weight
Mobile cranes
Cranes
o Gantry cranes : both of its legs on the floor
o Semi gantry cranes : one leg on floor and other on top side
o EOT :electric overhead traveling cranes
o Level-luffing cranes : this crane can move material only in
radial direction
Pump house
This section controls the movement of various liquids
The machinery in pump house are
Ballast pump
Main distributer pump
Gate winch
Water lines
Electric lines
Compressor house
Consist of 6 compressors of which 2 are screw compressors and 4 are
reciprocating compressors
1. Reciprocating compressor : uses reciprocating pistons for compressing
air
2. Screw / centrifugal compressor : use the opposite principle as in
turbines , it is 3 stage process
SHIP REPAIR
Ship repair section mainly concentrates on the repair and
maintenance of the ships. When a ship comes to the dock for any
repair purpose, SR department is taking care of it. Any tests and
repair needs to be done by this section. There are various shops
under ship repair section which are
Engine shop
Machine shop
Electric shop
Quality shop

12 M lathe
Miller machine
Dynamic balancing machine
Universal tool and cutter grinder
Electric oven
Power saw
Electric shop
o Winding machine : wires are coiled using this machine
o Scrapping and chipping machine : chalk fast ruing is used preset
moulds of good accuracy are made and molten metal is poured
into it
o Electric component assembly
o Fabrication area
Pipe shop
Mostly 2 types of pipes and tubes are used in this area which are seam
and seamless pipes
Seam pipes: electric resistance welding
Seamless pipes: billet and mandrel is used
Pipes are known by its nominal bore and then the outer diameter. The wall
thickness may vary.
Quality control
Major on tests done by ship repair are
o Leak proofing test for welded regions
o Vacuum test
o Air pressure test
o Hose test
o Ultrasonic test
