⚓ Shipbuilding Industry
The Shipbuilding Industry designs, constructs, and repairs ships and other floating vessels, including cargo ships, tankers, passenger ships, naval vessels, and offshore structures such as oil rigs. It involves a wide range of engineering disciplines — naval architecture, marine engineering, and materials science — and integrates large-scale metal fabrication, propulsion systems, and advanced control systems. Shipbuilding is a strategic heavy industry, often linked to national defense, maritime trade, and industrial capability.
