The starting point for any shipbuilding project is a potential contract. Therefore the market is an appropriate place to begin a discussion of shipbuilding management. Any shipyard can only operate in the context of the market demand for its products. The importance of shipping is outlined and the main types of commercial ships. The demand for these ships derives from replacement of old ships, development of new trades and improvements in ship technology. A shipyard needs to research and understand all these and maintain close contact with the shipowners in the market.

    A brief overview of historical development of shipbuilding is offered, including the increasingly rapid developments since the introduction of steel for ship construction, power for ship movement and operation and new shipbuilding technologies. These include welding, large cranes and dry docks, though the importance of the management activities is emphasised.
