“…Furthermore, the contractors are each being subject to different local rules and regulations. Each contractor uses different production methods, has different levels of organization and technology, and attaches different priorities to green working methods (Pires and Lamb 2008). Ships have technologically complex product structures, and individual ships are highly customized to buyer demands and wishes.…”

“…We use Compensated Gross Tonnage (CGT) per man hour (MH) as a metric of shipbuilding productivity. CGT re-flects the volume of tonnage created by a given amount of inputs, such as workers, capacity, management and technical levels (Pires and Lamb, 2008). It is based on ship type and size and is internationally consistent (Bertram, 2003).…”

“…In this paper, we produce a rough estimate of productivity on the basis of very limited information. Productivity data is sourced from previous studies (Chou and Chang, 2004;First Maritime International, 2005;Lamb, 2002a;Lamb, 2002b;Lamb, 2007;Pires and Lamb, 2008). The average value has been adopted for each country.…”

“…Korea's wage in dollars has increased five times faster than in local currency because of won appreciation against the US dollar; on the contrary, the devaluation of the yen has helped Japan slow down wage increases.

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractCost has a significant impact on competitiveness within the shipbuilding industry. In China, low costs have created favourable conditions for domestic shipyards competing in the international market. However, China's shipbuilders have been facing rising cost pressures in recent years, which may affect their industrial competitiveness. In this article, we assess China's shipbuilding cost and its impact on the competitiveness of China's shipbuilding industry. We make comparisons with China's major competitors, South Korea and Japan, over the period from 2000 to 2009. First, we analyse principal factors that affect shipbuilding cost. Second, we examine the changes in China's shipbuilding cost over the time period. Finally, we use shipbuilding cost and market share as the basis for analysing the competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry. The results reveal the sources and limiting factors of China's cost advantage, as well as changes in its shipbuilding cost and competitiveness.
