HS v2022 Code: 8905
About light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers, floating cranes, other vessels; the navigability of which is subsidiary to main function; floating docks, floating, submersible drilling, production platforms
HS code 8905 covers a diverse range of specialized vessels and floating structures that are primarily used for purposes other than navigation. These include light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers, floating cranes, and floating docks, as well as submersible drilling and production platforms. While the navigability of these vessels is secondary to their main function, they play a crucial role in various industries, from maritime construction and maintenance to offshore energy exploration and extraction.
Production process
The production of the vessels and structures covered under HS code 8905 typically involves a combination of steel fabrication, specialized engineering, and advanced manufacturing techniques. Depending on the specific type of vessel or platform, the production process may include the construction of the hull, the installation of specialized equipment and machinery, and the integration of various systems, such as propulsion, control, and safety systems.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 8905 items include high-grade steel, specialized marine-grade components, advanced electronics and control systems, and skilled labor in areas such as welding, engineering, and systems integration. Additionally, the production of these vessels and structures may require the use of specialized equipment, such as cranes, welding machines, and testing facilities.
Production outputs
The vessels and structures covered under HS code 8905 are primarily used in a variety of maritime and offshore industries. For example, light-vessels and fire-floats are used for navigation and emergency response, while dredgers and floating cranes are essential for harbor maintenance and construction projects. Floating docks and submersible drilling and production platforms are critical for the offshore energy industry, supporting activities such as 8905 Light-vessels, fire-floats, dredgers, floating cranes, other vessels; the navigability of which is subsidiary to main function; floating docks, floating, submersible drilling, production platforms extraction and processing.
