INTRODUCTION TO
ORGANIZATION
HISTORY OF THE COMPANY
Cochin Shipyard Ltd (CSL) is one of the largest shipbuilding and maintenance facility in India.
It is one among a series of maritime-related facilities in the port city of Kochi, Kerala, India.
The shipyard's services include the construction of platform supply vessels and double-hulled
oil tankers. It is currently constructing the INS, the Indian Navy's first indigenous aircraft
carrier.
Cochin Shipyard was established as a government-owned corporation in 1972, with the first
phase of facilities opening in 1982. Miniratna status is held by the company. The yard, which
is the largest of its kind in India, has the capacity to build and repair boats weighing up to 1.1
lakh tons. The yard was designed and constructed under technical collaboration with M/s
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan.
Cochin Shipyard is also the country's leading ship repairer. The shipyard began ship repair
operations in 1982 and has since completed repairs on a wide range of vessels, including
upgrades for ships in the oil exploration business, as well as routine lay-up repairs and life
extensions for Navy, UTL, Coast Guard, Fisheries, and Port Trust ships. Approximately the

SHIP BUILDING
CSL, India's first Greenfield shipyard and now the most contemporary, has an exceptional
reputation for manufacturing high-quality ships. Cochin Shipyard, with its extensive
experience, is well positioned to provide a diverse range of products, including:
Tankers
A tanker is a ship that is built to deliver liquid in large quantities. The oil tanker, chemical
tanker, and liquefied natural gas carrier are the three main types of tank ships. Tankers can
have capacities ranging from a few hundred tones to several hundred thousand tones,
depending on whether they're serving local harbors or coastal communities. In addition to ocean
or seagoing tankers, there are inland waterway tankers that operate on rivers and canals and
have cargo capacities of up to a thousand tones.
Bulk Carriers
A bulk carrier, also known as a bulk freighter or bulker, is a merchant ship built to transport
bulk goods in its cargo holds, such as grains, coal, ore, and cement. Economic forces have
spurred the development of these ships since the first specialized bulk carrier was built in 1852,
causing them to grow in size and sophistication. Bulk carriers of today are built to maximize
capacity, safety, efficiency, and the ability to endure the demands of their jobs.
Passenger vessels
A passenger ship is one whose primary purpose is to transport people. The category excludes
cargo vessels with little accommodation or passengers, such as the once-ubiquitous twelve-
passenger freighters, where passenger transport is secondary to freight carriage. However,
several classes of ships designed to transport a large number of passengers as well as freight
fall under this category.
A platform vessel is a ship that is specifically intended to support oil installations located
offshore. These ships range in length from 20 to 100 meters and perform a wide range of duties.
The majority of these vessels' principal purpose is to transfer cargo and personnel to and from
offshore oil platforms and other offshore facilities.
A tug is a vessel maneuvering boat that pushes or tows other boats. Tugs transport boats that
should not move on their own, such as ships in congested harbors or small canals, or those that
cannot move on their own, such as barges, damaged ships, or oil platforms. Tugboats are
powerful and well-built for their size, and some are capable of crossing the ocean. Tugboats
are used as icebreakers and salvage vessels.
An aircraft carrier is a vessel designed to deploy and retrieve aircraft while also serving as a
seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers enable a naval force to extend air power around the world
without relying on local facilities for aircraft staging. They've progressed from wooden vessels
used to launch balloons to nuclear-powered warships capable of transporting dozens of fixed
and rotary wing aircrafts.
SHIP REPAIR
CSL began providing ship repair services in 1982 and has since upgraded and repaired a wide
range of ships, including those used in the oil exploration business.
ONGC's Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit "Sagar Vijay" has been upgraded significantly. The
vessel's drilling capacity was raised from 300 to 900 meters after the upgrade.
Maintenance and repairs of the Indian Navy's aircraft carrier "INS Viraat"
The Shipping Corporation of India is responsible for the repair and maintenance of tankers
and bulk ships.
Ships' repairs
Ships used in the oil exploration sector are being upgraded.
Layup repairs on a regular basis
Naval ships, coast guard ships, fisheries ships, and port trust ships, as well as SCI and
ONGC merchant ships, will have their lives extended.
MARINE ENGINEERING TRAINING INSTITUTE
The Graduate Mechanical Engineers (GME) Course was first offered by the Marine
Engineering Training Institute (METI) in 1993. This 12-month course is required to complete
before taking the Class IV Certificate of Competency exam (MEO Class-IV) to become an
Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch in a manned engine room or a designated duty
engineer in a perishable engine room.
OFFSHORE SERVICE
CSL has a dedicated offshore division that handles all types of offshore projects. CSL Offshore
has completed a number of offshore projects for ONGC since its establishment in 1996 and has
been crucial in significantly reducing ONGC's project costs. CSL could execute its first
offshore project for ONGC ahead of schedule and for one-third of the expected cost because to
superior project management abilities. This project entailed the installation of 12 ONGC Heera
fields clamp on structures. CSL successfully completed an offshore project at Bombay High
for spud can repairs on the Sagar Ratna by putting her on a self-propelled submersible barge,
which required a high level of Project Management efficiency to coordinate multiple activities
and logistical support. The ONGC Clamp-On project at the HB, HD, and HE Platforms in the
Heera Fields was another similar project.
TESTING SERVICES
The laboratory is an independent test house, with all sections constructed and equipped with
instruments to support Cochin Shipyard's Quality Assurance efforts, as well as to provide
similar services to nearby institutions, enterprises, and government organizations.
Over the years, we've built a reputation for quality, dependability, and promptness of service.
In our testing services, we work hard to maintain a high level of accuracy. NABL has accredited
certain of the laboratory's activities (National Accreditation Board for testing and calibration
Laboratories)
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
KEY EXECUTIVES
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
Cochin Shipyard Limited is a Government of India undertaking under the Administrative
control of the Ministry of Shipping. The Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) is guided
by a team of Board of Directors, appointed by the President of India. The normal strength of

MATTERS
It is a centralized organizational structure. All the decisions are taken by the Chairman and
Managing Director. Ship repair, projects civil U & M, Marketing, HR report to the director
(Technical). Director (Finance). Director (Operation), Director (Technical), Vigilance report
to the Chairman and Managing Director. Information systems and Finance matters are reported
directly to the Finance Director. IAC, Material, Ship repair matters are reported to the Directors
(Operation).
1. As records are sent to and from the main office, centralization causes delays in work.
Employees rely on information from the top, and delays in relaying records will result in a
loss of man-hours.
2. Employees undertake jobs that are conceptualized by senior executives, therefore there is
no initiative at work. Because of the rigidity of the task, it inhibits their inventiveness and
devotion to the firm.
3. The executives of the company are under a lot of pressure to make decisions for the
company, and they have no influence over the execution process. Executives' failure to
decentralize decision-making adds a lot more work to their desks.
4. Employees are merely the implementers of higher-level decisions. Even if employees have
trouble implementing some of the decisions, the executives will not comprehend because
they are only decision-makers, not decision-implementers. The result of such actions is a
decline in performance because the employees lack the motivation to implement decisions
taken by top-level managers without the input of lower-level employees.

Internal audit
The Cochin Shipyard Limited's business development section is unique in itself. When the
company is creating a new design or when a specific customer contacts the company, the BD
division's main function begins.
When the business creates a new design, the BD division works with shipbrokers to locate
prospective clients for the ship. The next step is when a customer approaches the company to
build a ship; this is the current pattern in shipyards, where a customer specifies all of their
wants or basic specifications, such as the ship's speed restrictions measured in knots, the ship's
facilities, and so on. Customers are given priority in determining what should be included or
deleted from the design in both areas, and they have complete discretion to finalize the design.
It is the responsibility of CSL's BD division to choose the company from which the essential
equipment will be procured. The selection is usually made looking the concept of:
Technical specification
Least cost
Forward planning is another important role of the BD decision. Forward planning, which
literally means "future planning," is carried out at the top management level and include the
design of strategies and policies.
FUNCTIONS
Calculations and drawings for basic ship and small craft design
Estimation of material costs for ships and small vessels
Data bank and computer applications
Creation of a computer software for ship design calculations, cost estimation, and other

Architecture to Marine Engineering using the 3600 techniques on various ship types.
Apprenticeship program are run in accordance with the law (Apprenticeship Act), and trainees
are tested by the NTAC (National Trade Apprenticeship Council).
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
CSL provides apprenticeship training in accordance with the 1961 Act and its revisions in 1973
and 1976. According to the Act, CSL chooses students for apprenticeship training who have a
National Trade Certificate granted by the Government of India. The following are the various
trades in which they receive training:
Office Trainee
Electrician
Mechanist
Fitter
Painter
Instrument Mechanic
Draftsman Mechanical
Pipe Fitter
Ship Wright Wood
The trainees receive two years of training in the above trades. At the conclusion of the training
session, all trainees must take an all-India examination, with certificates handed to those who
pass. CSL may accept the students as advanced trainees. Depending on the nature of the trade
and the requirements, it is normally for a term of one to three years. Apprenticeship training is
provided to degree and certificate holders in accordance with the Apprenticeship Act of 1973.
It is a one-year programme with certificates awarded upon successful completion. Trainees are
assigned to various departments within CSL to get exposure in accordance with their
qualifications and branch on a rotational basis for a minimum of three months.
The Inspection & Quality Control department coordinates the activities of the Organization's
many functional groups in order to achieve the most cost-effective production while
maintaining product quality and customer satisfaction.
Quality Assurance Process: When a quotation for components is accepted, the information is
forwarded by planning to I& C. 1, and QC inspects the quality of the samples provided by the
supplier before issuing the accept/reject order of quotation. When the supplier delivers the
items to the stores, the stores fill out a Goods Receipt Inspection Report (GRIR) and transmit
it to 1&QC. I & QC inspect the quality of the components before approving or rejecting the
proposal. The inspection report is forwarded to both planning and the affected manufacturing
floor If I&QC rejects the component, the Material Department receives a Non-Confirmation
Report. The supplier performs any necessary part servicing or replacement. However, if the
components must be accepted notwithstanding 1 & QC's rejection, due to production urgency
or the concerned part will not impair the assembly or the extraordinary delay in new delivery,
The planning department produces a deviation concession letter, which is approved by I&QC,
and the component is then used in production.
The project department is primarily responsible for CSL's overall infrastructure development.
DGM Projects is in charge of the project section. This section investigates the viability of the
company's development and improvement. This department is in charge of the entire future
development planning process. Currently, the project department is focusing on the small
division project
