Building of military ships and vessels

NACE v2.1 Code: C30.13

About building of military ships and vessels

NACE code 30.13 covers the building of military ships and vessels, a critical industry that supports national defense and maritime security. This specialized sector plays a vital role in the broader economy, contributing to technological innovation, employment, and international trade. As nations seek to maintain strong naval capabilities, the demand for advanced military ships and vessels remains an important driver of economic activity.

Production process

The production of military ships and vessels involves a complex and highly-specialized manufacturing process. Key steps include the design and engineering of the vessel's hull, superstructure, and propulsion systems, as well as the integration of advanced electronics, weapons systems, and other specialized equipment. Shipyards utilize a range of specialized tools and techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer numerical control (CNC) machining, and advanced welding and fabrication methods, to ensure the precision and quality required for these sophisticated vessels.

Production inputs

The production of military ships and vessels requires a wide range of inputs, including specialized steel and other raw materials, advanced electronics and computer systems, specialized machinery and equipment, and a highly-skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and skilled tradespeople. Shipyards also rely on a network of suppliers and subcontractors to provide critical components and services, such as engine and propulsion systems, weapons systems, and specialized coatings and finishes.

Production outputs

The primary output of NACE code 30.13 is the production of military ships and vessels, including aircraft carriers, submarines, destroyers, frigates, and other specialized naval craft. These vessels are typically acquired by national defense organizations, such as 84.22 Defence activities, to support their maritime operations and strategic objectives. The outputs of this industry may also be exported to international customers, contributing to the global trade in military equipment and technology.
