The document discusses the state of shipbuilding engineering in Bangladesh, highlighting its history, potential, and the challenges faced in the industry. It emphasizes the nation's capacity for growth due to a low-cost workforce and the expected increase in shipbuilding exports, while also addressing barriers such as inadequate technology and infrastructure. Recommendations for improvement include government support and the development of skilled labor and related industries.

Shipbuilding Engineering is an
engineering which-
dealing with the design,
construction, maintenance
and operation of marine
vessels and structures.
It also known as Naval
Engineering or Naval
Architecture.
Shipbuilding Engineers
are involves-
basic and applied research,
design, development, design
evaluation and calculations
during all stages of the life of a
marine.

Khulna Shipyard,
the first modern

Bangladesh, was
established in 1957.
The shipyard was
later nationalized
and came under
the control of
Bangladesh Navy
in 1999.

Shipbuilding demand is a
function of shipping
activities and in turn of sea
borne commerce , national
water trades , any water
borne activities such as-
fishing , exploration
extraction and reservation.

requirement of small ships
in european waters.
• Enforcement of use of
double skin tankers.
• A strong of fuel efficient
ships(img-8).
• Restriction including
emission limits to hold
good environment.
• Higher required human
input in these sectors

Scarcity of capital
High manufacturing cost
Backward in technology
Inadequate electricity supply
Diplomatic deficiency and poor
marketing network
Lack of basic design abilities
Lack of comprehensive skill
No policy body for advising the
government on shipbuilding
• They have to get more orders from
clients abroad through global
competition.
• Need a skilled worked force.
• Deep draft basins with acsses to the
sea.
• Long term government policy
support.
• Allied forward and backward linkage
industries.
• Establish a towing tank.
• Need more industry related
educational and training institutes
