Abstract
Third industrial Master plan (IMP3) has identified shipbuilding industry as one of
main strategic industry for countries development. However, local shipyards in
general, have a limitation capabilities of shipbuilding and ship repairing, mostly
specializing in low-value and small vessels. Local yards are confronted with many
issues, including lack of qualified personal, high operational costs, low usage of
technology, low application of computer software and face stiff competition from
shipyards in countries such as Vietnam and Thailand. In order to make sure
Malaysia's shipyards more competitive, some aspect was address in this research
study, which are application computer software and technology in shipyards
industry. Aims of this research is to identify status of computer software and
technology application in Terengganu's shipyards. Beside, status performance of
Terengganu's shipyards also was showed though project that have been done. To
ยท support aims of this research, three methods was applied which are questionnaire,
interview and observation. Based on survey that have been done, computer software
and technology application is consider as highly application but unfortunately
technical software application and advance technologies application is still behind
compares to develop countries. Moreover, an issue and recommendations that were
related towards application computer software and technologies in Terengganu's
shipyards are highlighted.
