IHI Asks Permission

To Build New Shipyard

IHI (Ishikawajima-Harima

Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.), the leading Japanese shipbuilder, has applied to the Japanese Ministry of Transport for permission for a new shipyard construction project.

The new shipyard, tentatively named IHI Chita Shipyard, will be constructed on approximately 8,- 250,000 square feet of reclaimed land in the Chita Peninsula, Aichi

Prefecture, in southern Japan.

Upon receiving permission from the Ministry of Transport, con- struction work will begin, with completion scheduled for Decem- ber 1973. Construction of the first ship will begin in September 1972, while construction of a building dock is in progress. The cost of the new shipyard will be approxi- mately $61 million.

The shipyard will have a build- ing dock approximately 2,650 feet long, 300 feet wide and 45 feet deep, with two 350^ton goliath cranes and two 30-ton jib cranes.

The yard will build five ships of the 250,000-dwt class yearly.

For efficient and continuous shipbuilding, the dock will be di- vided in three portions, and a ship will be built at three stages—the stern at the first stage, the mid- section at the second stage, and the stem at the third stage. All ship construction work from keel-laying to completion, including the out- fitting work, will be conducted in the dock, and on leaving the dock, the ship will be able to undergo a trial run immediately.

Construction of the new ship- yard was projected to cope with the recent increasing demand for large ships. When the new yard is completed, IHI will discontinue shipbuilding in its Nagoya Ship- yard (maximum ship, 60,000 dwt) and ship its employees to the new yard. Labor-saving schemes will limit the number of employees at the new yard to 1,350. The Na- goya Shipyard will switch its pro- duction to machinery and steel structures. 1HE ASEA mm
