Shipyards and ship building is integral to the freight industry and the military. Shipyards are a place where ships are built and repaired. These ships can be yachts, military vessels, cruise liners or freight ships. Shipyards can also be known as dockyards, though the latter is often more commonly linked with the maintenance side of ship building. Ship building concentrates on the construction of ships and other floating vessels. Ship builders follow a specialised occupation that traces its roots back before recorded history. Ship building and repairs are commonly known as naval engineering.
