Thank you very much Vlad,, you have provided a really very EXPERT explanation indeed :-)
Kind regards,
Jadran

Hello Jadran, these are all very valid and interesting comments and questions.
Let me see if I can give you a correct answer.
The main vertical joint that can be seen in the middle of the superstructure is the joint between port and starboard parts of every deck - pretty much every maker in Korea will use the same arrangement, due to a) specific lifting capacity of workshop cranes and b) plate size (abt. 12 meters max). In wider superstructures, there will be 3 blocks (P, middle and S), and therefore 2 vertical joints. Now, for the looks of the joint...I think this is just due to angle of the setting sun, which makes every small uneven surface to stand out, just as the front surface of the superstructure itself, and I am confident that the distortions (that can never be completely avoided) are within 3-4 mm.
As for these horizontal lines between every deck - these are fillet welds protected by duct tape, which will eventually be removed before final coating/painting of the block.

Hi Vlad,, take a close look at the superstructure front plating ..... somehow the vertical welds look very "rough" and those horizontal "lines" ( maybe are some kind of reinforcements ?? ) look ugly indeed !
What is your professional opinion as an expert for newbuildings on this above mentioned issue !?
Please accept my comment only as a realistic fact that I can see on the photo.

Your kind response will be met much interesting and highly appreciated;

Thanks, Ruslan and Rick!

The way they make accommodation blocks around here is...interesting. It's a "turnkey" product, ready to go as soon as installed.
As for the obligatory yard worker in the picture, in my old Croatian yard he would be getting a nap with some big pipe fitting for a pillow... ;)

I'll echo that comment from Ruslan. Super detail and a remarkably comprehensive degree of fitting out. Includes a typical shipyard worker, skiving with a fag, (taking a cigarette break) under the accomodation!
Great shot Vlad. Hvala.

Hi, Vlad!
