Research On Project Management Of Tanker Construction

From a point of view of a shipping company, first, the paper has introduced international oil market and the condition of international oil shipping market. Then, it has analyzed the new developments of world oil shipping market and especially China's oil market. As China is rapidly becoming a big oil -import country and China's tanker fleet is comparatively small in size, it is very urgent for us to expand our tanker fleet on a big scale so as to meet both international and domestic oil shipping demand. This is the great challenge that our shipping companies are facing at the moment.The paper has adopted the new thinking method, which first introduced theory, then put it into practice. Then, it has introduced more knowledge and technology about a new tanker construction. First, it has a deep analysis of the condition of domestic oil shipping market, because having an analysis of market is the first step we should take when we consider to build a tanker. Afterward, the paper has introduced technological and economic demonstration for a tanker construction. This is the most important thing we should do for a tanker construction. From an economic angle, the paper has also analyzed economic feasibility of building a tanker by a huge investment. The technological demonstration for a tanker construction has something to do closely with the technological condition of tanker construction and also the bidding of shipyard. The paper has discussed in much detail about bidding technology. Later, the paper has told us something about the management method, technology and research of new tanker construction. The paper has particularly focused on how to put these theories into practice and guide practice. So, on the basis of having a detailed discussion of the latest management method, and by taking an example of an 280,000 dwt tanker, which is under construction for COSCO Dalian now, the paper has analyzed how to put project management method into the practice and summed up the important function and the significance of the adoption of project management method during tanker construction.
