The concept of a modular container shipyard as a tool to increase the mobility and efficiency of unmanned boats production

The concept of a modular container shipyard is proposed, designed to increase the mobility and economic efficiency of the production of unmanned boats, which is especially important in the context of the need for the rapid deployment of production facilities for the needs of ensuring the protection of the Russian Federation. An innovative approach to shipbuilding is proposed, based on the use of standard 20- and 40-foot containers, each of which has a strict specialized production or auxiliary function. The main advantages of a modular shipyard are considered, including mobility (the possibility of rapid deployment in various locations), scalability (adaptation of production capacities to changing needs), cost-effectiveness (reduction of capital and operational costs) and rapid deployment (reduction of commissioning time due to the stability of the shipyard). The applicable constraints, such as the shortage of qualified personnel and the difficulties of material and technical supply, are analyzed and ways to overcome them are identified. The basic configuration of the modular shipyard is presented, which includes an area for storage, material preparation, molding and lamination, hull assembly, electrical and mechanical installation, sensor installation, testing and fine-tuning, as well as administrative and management units. Preliminary technical and economic indicators (CAPEX and OPEX) for calculating a shipyard focused on the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation are presented, and the sensitivity of the main performance indicators to changes in cost and economic costs is analyzed, which leads to their leadership in the profitability of the project. The conclusion is formulated about the high investment attractiveness of the modular proposal in comparison with the capital construction of stationary shipyards, as well as about the significant potential for further development and taking into account this concept.
