Abstract


The new dry dock, 350 m long and 56 m wide, completes the facilities for large ships, and makes the shipbuilding industry of Monfalcone capable of handling the construction of bulk carrying vessels of up to 320,000 tons d. w. The construction of this dry dock has been difficult for various reasons, such as its emplacement, and the rocky nature of the subsoil. The sluices, of the lightweight bottom type, have been completed entirely under dry conditions.
