Abstract

The economic  condition of a country is not separated by natural resources  as  a  provider  of  human needs  Indonesia  is  a  maritime country  that  most  of  its  territory  in  the  form  of  waters.  The shipyard industry is a maritime undertaking whose activities build a  new  ship,  ship  maintenance,  ship  repair  etc.  The  growth  of shipbuilding  industry  in  line  with  the  rapid  growth  of  iron  and steel  mining  and  advances  in  machining  technology  in  the  late 18th  and  early  19th  centuries.  This  has  made  the  shipbuilding industry  progressing  rapidly  to  date.  For  preliminary  data  as  a guideline  for  increasing  shipyard  capabilities  to  produce  new vessels including docking, it is necessary to inventory the current condition of the shipyard. The shipbuilding industry is one of the maritime  industry  based  on  the  technology  chosen  by  the government  to  be  developed  related  to  the  realization  of  the maritime  shaft  program.  The  technological  conditions  in  the conventional  national  shipyards  that  are  still  not  convincingly resized, require the evaluation process to produce a plan and the realization  of  targeted  improvements.  The  development  of  the national  maritime  industry  as  a  solution  of  the  Indonesian government's program to improve the national shipping capability in  the  transportation  of  goods  and  inter-island  passengers.  The need  for  vessels  in  large  quantities  to  exploit  existing  marine potentials,  the  need  for  a  fleet  of  vessels  to  become  goods transport and passengers connecting between islands and between countries,  the  need  for  ships  for  marine  and  coastal  protection, and  the  need  for  other  special  vessels  is  an  urgent  matter  to  be met.  Consumers  who  require  shipbuilding  services include oil companies,  shipping,  tourism,  transportation,  etc.  The results of the shipping industry in shipbuilding activities  are tankers, ferry boats, fishing boats, yachts, etc.
