Making the most of our strategic location and layout
|
|
 The location of Maritimus has been carefully chosen to ensure quick and low cost transportation of shipbuilding material. Careful thought has been put into the actual design of the layout to ensure maximum efficiency, safety and conservation of the surrounding natural environment.
In addition, special care has been taken to enable the shipyard to add value to the lives and lifestyles of not only those who will operate it, but also to surrounding communities.
Safety
|
| The steel stacking area is easily accessible by road vehicles as well as the goods handling jetty. |
| Steel plates and sections will be transported to subsequent areas either by overhead traveling cranes or on carts running over rails. The heavier pieces of equipment are to be transported by suitable fork lifts or overhead transporters. The layout ensures minimum crisscrossing in way of movement of heavy loads and well defined routes for material and personnel movement too. Safety is taken a step farther than what the layout alone can offer by adopting safety procedures that will strictly be followed at all times.
A well equipped and efficient fire fighting system has been introduced to cope with all types of fires shipyards are vulnerable to. The grit blasting space is well covered and paint stores are isolated as far away from each other as possible. Among other measures to minimize pollution, plantations have been designed to keep sound levels as low as possible. To minimize the damage shipyards tend to inflict on the environment even more, sandblasting has been avoided altogether.

| Selection of equipment |
| Shipyard is a comprehensive industry and equipment need to be selected to efficiently serve all aspects of shipbuilding. However, the core equipment will consist of a shot blasting and priming plant to ensure that the base materials are prepared suitable. |
CNC plate cutting machines to ensure the quick, flawless cutting of steel plates for timely production, overhead traveling cranes of suitable capacity to handle blocks, planes of suitable size to match the intended size of the vessel being built, welding machines to produce welding of required quality at the shortest possible time without need of any re-work and efficient plate and section bending machines will also add to our list of powerful equipment to help our production facilities reach world class standards. In addition, special shipbuilding tools like block transporters and he-jackels for the movement and alignment of heavy blocks and appropriate equipment for precision work and machine tools will also be used extensively.
