The owner will set forward a list of requirements which can be in terms of length, range, capacity, and so on.
This phase determines the vessels, design requirements, and dimensions in terms of numbers and ranges. Target requirements help us compare two or more designs. Say for example “A high-speed recreational fishing vessel “. We highlight one or more words that uniquely define the design. The statements used can define the function of a vessel in very simple words. This phase defines the type and function of the vessel. It is a systematic loop that comprises the following steps, The design spiral is a spherical loop of a process that the designers iterate one or more times to meet the requirements of the owners. MV Vassos at a shipyard The Design Spiral In Shipbuilding Process Let us look deeper into both the design and production aspects of shipbuilding. Starting from the concept to the launch of a vessel, a lot of calculations and hard work is put forward for the design and construction of a vessel.
