Abstract
Outfitting electrical cable in highly sophisticated ships, such as research vessels and patrol boats, has a significant impact on every aspect of ship construction, modernization, overhaul, and repair. In other words, cost, schedule adherence, and quality for very sophisticated ships are fully dependent on the performance of the electrical work. Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (IHI) has been exploiting zone logic, also recognized as group technology, for construction of virtually all ship types. But, the extensive cable footage in sophisticated ships requires special considerations and techniques. This paper presents practical design and production processes for zone outfitting electric cable. Special focus is on:functional and detail design,conversion of system-oriented design data to zone-oriented work packages called "pallets," andwork methods currently employed in IHI shipyards.
