Outfitting electrical cable in highly sophisticated ships, such as research vessels, patrol boats, etc., has a significant impact on every aspect of ship construction, modernization, overhaul, and repair. In other words, cost, schedule adherence, and quality for very sophisticated ships are fully dependent on the performance of electrical work. Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, Co., Ltd. (IHI) has been exploiting Zone Logic Technology (ZLT) for the construction of virtually all ship types. But the extensive cable footage in sophisticated ships requires special considerations and techniques. This paper presents practical design and production processes for ZLT outfitting of electric cable. Special focus is given to the following: (1) functional end detail design; (2) conversion of system-oriented design data to zone-oriented work packages, called pallets; and (3) work methods currently employed in IHI shipyards.
