The launching of the ships, type Ropax Ferry for Newfoundland and Labrador
Damen Galati dockyard had launched in the first part of this year two ships: “MV
Veteran” and “MV Legionaire”,type Ro-Pax ferrys having ice class, a length of 80 meters and
a design obtained by Canadian-Danish cooperation between Fleetway and E. Hansen
companies.”We are trying very much to deliver these ships at the deadlines and under
established budget” said Jan van Hogerwou, selling director for Nort America. First ship is
going to be delivered in this autumn and the second one at the beginning of the next year. The
launching of the first ship coincides with the moment when Damen make a step forward
through the establishment of a Damen authorized center for service and maintenance at St.
John-the provincial capital of Newlandfound and Labrador. ”We are currently in discussion
with some potentials partners for local service and we are estimate to make a partnership with
one or two of them” continues Mr. Hogerwou.
“This is a commitment on Canadian market which should pave the way to the
economic benefits and future opportunities for new orders ”.

Shipbuilding yards are those enterprises in which the ships are build and repaired.
Shipyards are classified after several criteria:
a) ships build destination:
1) military shipyards
2) civil shipyards
b) geographic position:
1) maritime shipyards
2) river shipyards
c) ways of the executed work:
1) shipyards for new constructions
2) shipyards for repairs
3) mixed shipyards
Most of the shipyards from our country are mixed shipyards, example: ICN Constanta,
SN Giurgiu, SN Tulcea.
In shipbuilding yards are executed full body work, a part of the installation work,
mechanical work, ships are being tested for delivery. A part of aggregates fitted on the ship
are executed in other enterprises like: the engines, the pumps, onboard cranes. These
enterprises have a naval profile and belongs to Naval Central providing the necessary
aggregates to shipyards. Also rolled steel, bare wire electrode and others materials are
provided by profile enterprises. Because of this reasons, shipyards cooperate with a large
number of enterprises, cooperation which is extended continuously, in parallel with the
diversification of production.
No matter what shipyard, this is divided into several important sectors: body building
sector, assembley sector, metal sector, mechanical sector, wood sector, transport sector,
energy sector and auxiliary sector.
Body sector includes following workshops: classic tracing workshop, optical tracing
workshops, laminates warehouse, processing workshops, assembly and welding workshop,
construction and launch berth, paint shop, others workshops and auxiliary warehouses.

The structure of a ship
The hull is considerated a rigid solid with complex geometry. The complexity of the
hull geometry is determined by the need to respect water qualities.
Project plans used in the structure of a ship
For the theoretical study of the hull geometry, 3 main plans and an auxiliary project
plan it is used.
Diametral plan is a longitudinal vertical plane that divides the hull in two symmetrical
parts port board, located to the left of the diametral plane and starboard located on the right
side diametral plane.
The outline of the ship in diametral plan is defined by the following lines keel line,
deck line in diametral plane which present a curve called the sheer in diametral plane, bow
line, stern line.
The transitive plane is a verical plane, passing through the master section and divide
the ship in two asymmetrical parts: the bow and the stern. Dead flat is a cross section having
the maximum area of the ship.
The outline of the ship in cross section of dead flat is defined by the following lines:
bottom line ,deck line and board line in cross section.
