converge toward the prefabrication shop, where they are used to build structural components or subassemblies. The subassemblies are transported to an area nearer the berths, where they are welded together to form large prefabricated units, which are then carried by cranes to the berth, to be welded into position on ship In practice there are many variations in this general procedure. At the Gotaverken Shipyard at Arendal, Norway, for example, partly fitted-out sections of the ship are fabricated in sheds and welded to sections already completed. As the vessel becomes built up with component sections, it is moved out of the covered area into a building dock and further sections are attached until the ship is complete. Water is then admitted to the dock and the ship is floated out for completion in the fitting-out basin. An example of an outstanding shipbuilding facility is the Harland and Wolff building dock in Belfast, Northern Ireland, completed in 1970, then the largest of its kind in the world: 1, 825 feet(556 meters)long, 305 feet(93 meters)deep. It is large enough for the construction of a 1,000,000-ton deadweight tanker. The dock is panned by a traveling cranecapable of lifting prefabricated structures of 840 tons maximum weight From "Encyclopedia Britannica?, Vol. 16. 1980) Technical Terms 1. shipyard造船 25. commercial department经销部门 2. berth船台,泊(铺)位 26. secretarial department秘书部门 木材 hing下水,发射 4. planking木船壳体 28. storekeeping库存 5. replica复制品 29. responsibility责任 6. substitute代用品 30. contract合同 7. slip 船台,滑道 31. subcontract外协(子)合同 8. assembly装备,组合 32. auxiliary副机 9.site场所 33. deck machinery甲板机械 10. prefabrication shed预装配工棚 34. anchor锚 11. client买主,客户 12. shipbuilder造船工人,造船厂商 36. furniture家具 13. undertaking任务,承担 37. furnishings陈饰,装饰 14. steelworker钢材工 38 layout布置(局) 15. welder焊工 39. building basin造船坞 16. shipwright船体木工 40. dry dock干船坞 17. blacksmith锻工,铁工 41. large assembly大型分段 18.
