NATIONAL SHIPBUILDING STANDARDS PROGRAM: STATUS REPORT NO. 3

In this study, the accomplishments of the National Shipbuilding Standards Program are reported and evaluated. Currently, there are over seventy shipbuilding standards in various stages of development under the voluntary consensus ballot system. Twelve have been approved and published as ASTM National Standards. A documented 83% of these are being used in new shipbuilding contracts resulting in an immediate multiple payback situation relative to the initial R&D investment. Several shipyards are now involved in new or expanded internal standards programs particularly where advanced shipbuilding techniques are being applied.
