Performance measurement in the ship repair industry

[martech]

Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm working on a research project developing a cost estimation tool. I'm trying to find data on manhour rates, costs, etc. in the production of Surface Warships larger than patrol boats.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where I can source such information.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Sorry the header should have read man-hour rates in the Naval Construction industry.

The Maritime Administration of the Department of Transportation publishes shipbuilding labor rates for worldwide shipbuilding industry.<br>

Thanks for your help - I don't want to appear ignorant, but is the Department of Transportation a US institution?<br>

Hello again - I've looked at the USDT web site under the maritme administration section and I can't find any reference to the man-hours. Is it possible that such information is only available to US citizens?<br>
<br>
To be more specific - I'm trying to develop a cost estimating system for Military vessels so I need the costs on a per ship basis. Any suggestions?<br>

The Maritime Administaration publishes data on worldwide shipbuilding costs. It is available to everyone perhaps for a small fee. I suggest you e-mail them and ask for name of publication.<br>
<br>
It you are doing research in ship costs, you may wish to get a copy of &quot;Marine Engineering Economics and Cost Analysis&quot; by Hunt and Butman, Cornell Maritime Press, Centreville, Maryland. You can find it on Amazon.com. <br>

The U.S. Navy has this type of specific information which is generally available to those parties involved in the construction/repair/conversion of surface ships.

You should contact the Public Information Officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda Maryland. They have a web site and you can go from there......
