Abstract
The history of maritime navigation and sea trade relates to the very beginning of the human civilisation. On the one hand, the ship as a means of transport given its size (dimensions and capacity) as well as its technical and technological characteristics and, on the other hand, the sea as a shipping route, represent the cheapest transportation of large amounts of goods, connecting different harbours all over the world. Shipbuilding industry is an economic and industrial activity that includes shipbuilding, shipequipping and shipreapair. It is also a project driven enterprise because it exercises multiproject business i.e. it carries out multiple projects
in a determined time period. Shipping projects are realised under the supervision of the head of projects or project manager. The phases of launching, realisation and guarantee of shipping projects take place during what in the shipbuilding industry is called project lifetime (or time cycle). Project lifetime can be defined as a period during which the project produces profits and creates costs. From a shipyard’s perspective a quality project lifetime demands a project approach. This kind of an approach guarantees that the project will be realised within a given time period and with the use of given resources thus achieving the objective and the purpose of the project. Within the different phases of the project lifetime, the bank is to fulfil its financial obligations on time.
