Boat building is the construction of boats. It generally takes place in a
particular facility known as a boatyard which include some activities such as
the construction of boats, repair, conversion & alteration, the production
of prefabricated boat & barge sections, and specialized services, for instance
ship scaling. The construction of a boat is a highly technical &
complicated process. It involves the blending of many skilled trades or
contract employees who works under the control of a primary contractor. Boat
building is performed for both commercial and military purposes. The
dismantling of boats is called boat breaking.
Some significant
risks are included physical risks and chemical risks. Physical risks may be
noise & vibration, falls & trips, ionizing & non-ionizing radiation
and temperature & weather extremes etc. Chemical risks may be fumes, dusts,
spray mists, exposure to asbestos & mineral fibres and others. These risks
may be minimized by several strategies for instance enclosure, isolation,
substitution or elimination and ventilation process.
According to
study, “Boat Building And Repairing
Global Market Report 2019” the key companies operating in the boat building and
repairing global market are Brunswick Corporation, Survitec Survival Craft
Ltd., Holyhead Boatyard Ltd, Riviera, Ancasta International Boat Sales Ltd,
Daewoo Shipbuilding &
Marine Engineering (DSME) Co Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, General
Dynamics, Hyundai Heavy Industries, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation,
Samsung Heavy Industries, China State Shipbuilding Corporation, Sumitomo Heavy
Industries, Hanjin Heavy Industries. The key companies are increasingly using robotics technology to
streamline boat-building operations and boost efficiency. Robots make use of
gadget-on-chip (SoC) and three dimensional (3D) digital camera sensor technologies
to automate welding, heavy lifting, blasting, painting, inspection, pipe
cleansing, and different duties in a shipyard.
Based on type of
boat, the global boat building and repairing market is segmented into outboard
boats, inboard boats and others (open-deck boats (aluminum pontoons and
deck-style monohull runabouts), unregistered small craft (rowboats, canoes,
dinghies, etc.), and houseboats). Outboards boats include runabouts, utility boats, bass
boats, offshore fishing boats, and pontoons boats. In addition, inboard boats
include mainly sport boats and cabin cruisers, also known as stern drive boats.
Based on construction material, market is segmented into fiberglass and
aluminum & steel. Based on construction process, market is segmented into
automatic flame cutting, bending process, welding process, and combining of
boat subassemblies and abrasive blasting. Welding is classified as Submerged
arc welding (SAW), Shielded
metal arc welding (SMAW), Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), Gas metal arc
welding (GMAW), Plasma-arc
welding (PAW) and Flux core arc welding (FCAW). Based on fabrication method,
market is segmented into vacuum bag moulding, matched die moulding, compression
moulding, autoclave moulding, sandwich construction, filament winding and
polyester & epoxy resins (bisphemol epoxy systems, orthophthalic polyester
and isophthalic polyester. Based on application, market is segmented into
rowboats, hovercrafts, sailboats, motorboats, yachts and others. Furthermore, based
on end-user, market is segmented into households and commercial.
The boat building and repairing
market is majorly driven by rise in economy growth, followed by increase in
demand for ships, increase in exports orders and shift to eco-friendly ships.
Apart from driven aspects, some of the restraints factors include rising prices of fuel and high
investment involved in boat building & repairing. It is expected that the
future of global boat building and repairing market will be bright due to rise
in demand for sea travel.
