Intro

A shipyard has turned out to be a very complexed industrial site nowadays. This is true not only if we consider the products that a shipyard manufactures and the multi-segment attitude that their administrations keep but also if we try to analyze from the scope of size, origin, manning, equipment, technology etc.

Indeed we can find shipbuilding facilities of small size and limited capabilities to enormous site that can construct many VLCCs almost at the same time.

Considering the shipyard as an economic entity, which main purpose is to generate profits, in order to secure its long term viability, it is interesting to see that we also have different types of firms. In other words one can find private shipbuilding facilities (either family or corporate managed) to listed shipyards in major stock markets. As an investor, or shareholder, or researcher, or banker, or shipowner and so on, it is useful to know at any time, how the shipyard that she is related performs financialy.

This is the main tasks that this blog will try to cover:
1) Listed shipyards valuation and fair stock price identification
2) Deep financial analysis of listed or private shipyards
3) Valuation of non listed shipyards based on their limited available information

Any contribution, or correction, or proposal to this effort is well accepted and will be treated with great care.
I am also available to any kind of questions or claims that may arise from the operation of that blog

Thank you for your time
