Abstract

The session on the Additive manufacturing, its application and future impact it will have on the shipbuilding and repairs was deliberated by following four panel members: Mr. Syed Abdi, Mr. Sujoy Seal, Mr. Aditya Chandavarkar, Dr K. Sastry and moderated by Capt. S. Kishore, and Mr Ulhas Kalghatgi acting as an assimilator. After the initial introduction, the moderator made opening remarks on the state of Indian Shipbuilding and its presence in this industry being negligible, except for defence projects and the silver lining was two shipyards; M/s Cochin Shipyard in Kochi, and Chowgule shipyard in Goa, who have orders to deliver autonomous ships. The session commenced with the poser, why Indian shipbuilding has not grown at all? And what role Additive Manufacturing will have in shipbuilding in future? Will it be a solution provider in the longer run? The all-pervading issues which plague Indian shipbuilding industry are the familiar ones known to everyone and the morning session on Maritime Commerce and Economy highlighted the problems facing the Indian Maritime Industry.
