A block which is carried into the dock by a huge crane.


It looks like two ships are assembled side by side in the back and forth.


Looking like this from the opposite direction.


The crane brought a big block.


I will weld it closer to the back block.


Assembly rapidly.


The shape gradually began to appear.


The hull is stopped just in front of the bulkhead.


Pour water into the dock and let the boat float.


Remove the bulkhead ......


Once put the ship out.


Both of the two will be brought out and I will stop the water again.


Where the environment was in place, we removed the barriers again and carried only the rear parts of the ship.


Drain and restart assembly. I carry the block.


Assemble the bow.


It has become like a container ship.


We will install engines on the hull.


Completion


I will fill the inside of the dock with water again.


Remove barriers ......


I left the shipyard.
