Abstract
The constantly increasing volume of world trade necessitates continuous enlargement of international merchant fleets. The number and size of new ships have risen sharply in recent years. In order to keep up with the demand for new ships, the world's shipyards have had to invest large sums of money, and will be forced to continue to do so. These developments lead in their turn to the necessity for greater service and repair capacities. This paper describes the way in which the installation of a new 33,000-ton floating dock enabled Jacksonville Shipyards, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida greatly to enlarge their service and repair capacity.
