Robotics In The Shipbuilding Industry


Robotics is being used in the shipbuilding industry to lift heavy metal parts and provide automated services such as welding, blasting, painting, and other related tasks in shipyards. Usage of robotics also leads to increased efficiency and reduced accidents. In South Korea’s Geoje shipyard which launched 30 ships a year, 68% of its production processes were carried out by robotic systems. 

THE BUSINESS RESEARCH COMPANY VALUED THE GLOBAL SHIP BUILDING AND REPAIRING MARKET AT $250+ BILLION IN 2021

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the ship and boat building and repairing market in 2017, accounting for more than half of the market share. This was mainly due to technologically advanced infrastructure in this region to facilitate exports and imports, low-cost communications and access to potential new customers and many shipbuilding companies in countries such as China, South Korea and India.

The chart below shows the year-on-year growth of the global ship building and repairing market during 2017 – 2021.


According to The Business Research Company’s Consultant, Nitin Gianchandani, Shipbuilding process was sequential with outfitting of components only after the ship hull was launched, whereas, advanced outfitting is the fitting of machinery, seating structures, piping, electrical and hull outfit items before the hull structure is fabricated and erected on the birth or dock. This leads to reduced overhead work, better utilization of man-hours and improved productivity. Advanced outfitting is of two types: block outfitting and zone outfitting. Major players in this industry are DSME, HHI, Samsung Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Hyundai Heavy Industries was the largest player in the ship and boat building and repairing market in 2017, with revenues of $11 billion in 2016. Hyundai Heavy’s growth strategy aims at concentrating on its core business and lower the debt-to-equity ratio. In 2016, the company separated its non-shipbuilding divisions into independent companies. It separated its Green Energy Division, Integrated AS unit, Hyundai Electric & Energy Systems, Hyundai Construction Equipment, and Hyundai Robotic divisions and decreased the debt-to-equity ratio to below 100% by transferring the existing debt of HHI to separate companies on a pro rata basis.
