Hull Concepts

Shipbuilding is an industry with well established traditions. These traditions are also associated with rather special concepts and a somewhat special vocabulary. The shipbuilding vocabulary is partly universal but there are also local dialects that may cause confusion in contacts between people with different backgrounds. One such dialect is the one used within AVEVA Marine and its documentation.

The purpose of this document is to describe how different universal shipbuilding terms are used in the AVEVA Hull application when there is a suspicion that misunderstandings may occur. Some Hull specific terms are also introduced.
