用于船舶命名仪式和交船仪式的定制船模
A vessel naming ceremony or ship delivery marks an important milestone for shipowners, shipyards and maritime businesses. A custom ship delivery model provides a lasting physical representation of the vessel, preserving its identity and the significance of the project long after the ceremony has ended.
From newbuilding handovers to fleet celebrations and corporate presentations, a professionally developed ship model can reflect the actual vessel's hull, superstructure, colors, markings and distinctive features.
Scales Model develops vessel-specific models using available technical drawings, photographs, CAD information and project requirements. Explore our custom ship models for shipyards to learn more about models for newbuilding projects and professional presentations.
Why Ship Delivery Models Matter
The delivery of a newly built vessel represents the completion of a major engineering and commercial project. For a shipyard, it demonstrates shipbuilding capability. For a shipowner, it marks the addition of an important asset to the fleet. For the wider project team, it is an opportunity to recognize the work behind the vessel.
A ship delivery model transforms this milestone into a physical display that can remain in an office, boardroom, reception area or customer showroom. Unlike a general decorative ship model, a custom delivery model is planned around the identity of a specific vessel.
Recognize a Completed Newbuilding
Present a vessel-specific model to the shipowner or project stakeholders as a commemorative item associated with the completed construction project.
Celebrate a Fleet Addition
Preserve the identity of a new vessel and display it at the company's headquarters, in executive offices or alongside other fleet models.
Mark an Engineering Achievement
Recognize the contribution of designers, engineers, builders and project partners involved in a major marine project.
打造一件永恒的纪念品
Use a customized model for naming ceremonies, delivery events, anniversaries, customer presentations and company milestones.

When Should You Commission a Ship Delivery Model?
The ideal commissioning date depends on the event schedule, the availability of vessel information and the complexity of the model. Starting early gives the project team more time to review design information, confirm presentation details and arrange shipping.
Newbuilding Delivery Ceremonies
A shipyard may commission a model of the completed vessel for presentation to the shipowner during a formal handover. The model can reproduce the vessel's hull colors, superstructure, deck layout, equipment and identification markings.
Vessel Naming Ceremonies
A naming ceremony celebrates the identity of a vessel and its place in a fleet. A custom model can be prepared with the vessel name, company logo and a plaque recording relevant project information, subject to the approved design.
Fleet Expansion and Company Anniversaries
Models can also commemorate the launch of a new service, the addition of a flagship vessel or an important company anniversary. Where several models are required, the order should specify whether they represent the same vessel or different ships.

How to Customize a Ship Delivery Model
A successful delivery model should reflect the defining features of the actual vessel while fitting the intended presentation environment. The specification should identify which features must be reproduced accurately and which presentation elements are optional.
船体几何形状
Hull proportions, bow and stern shape, superstructure, deck arrangement and major structural features.
Paint and Markings
Hull colors, funnel graphics, vessel names, hull lettering, draft marks and other visible identification.
甲板设备
Cranes, lifeboats, masts, railings, hatch covers, piping and other visible vessel-specific equipment.
Commemorative Presentation
Display base, engraved plaque, protective case and approved vessel or company information.
For projects that need to reproduce a particular commercial vessel, our commercial model portfolio provides a useful starting point for reviewing different vessel forms and presentation styles.
Provide the Right References for an Accurate Model
Reference materials help the model maker understand the vessel's dimensions, arrangement and visual identity. For a newbuilding project, the shipyard or design team may already have drawings and digital information available.
总布置图
A GA plan can help define the vessel's principal layout, deck levels and superstructure. Hull profiles, deck plans and additional technical drawings may provide further dimensional information.
CAD and 3D Engineering Data
Suitable digital files can assist with complex geometry and equipment placement. Before sharing files, confirm the accepted formats and identify the latest approved design revision.
Vessel Photographs and Renderings
Photographs and renderings are useful for reviewing colors, markings and visible details. If the vessel is not yet complete, approved design renderings and drawings may provide the primary reference.
Provide the vessel name, principal dimensions, GA plan, hull profile, available CAD or 3D files, approved color references, company logo and any requirements for the presentation plaque.

Choose the Right Scale and Presentation Style
The model scale should be selected according to the original vessel's dimensions, the desired finished length, the available display space and the level of detail required.
A larger model can provide more room for visible equipment and fine structures, while a smaller model may be easier to transport or present to multiple stakeholders. The best option is the one that meets the project's visual and practical requirements.
| Decision | What to consider |
|---|---|
| Scale and length | Vessel dimensions, finished model size and available display space. |
| Display base | Base dimensions, finish, vessel supports and presentation environment. |
| Identification plaque | Vessel name, shipyard, shipowner, project name, delivery date or scale. |
| Protective case | Long-term display, dust protection, handling and transportation needs. |
| Multiple models | Consistency across units and the requirements of each recipient or location. |

From Vessel Drawings to a Finished Ship Delivery Model
A clearly defined workflow helps the shipyard, shipowner and model manufacturer coordinate technical information, approvals and delivery expectations.
-
Project Brief and Reference Review
Confirm the vessel, model purpose, desired scale, presentation style, available reference materials and required arrival date.
-
Design Interpretation
Review the drawings, photographs or digital files to establish the model's proportions, major structures and visible details.
-
Scale and Specification Confirmation
Agree on finished dimensions, vessel markings, colors, display base, plaque and any protective case.
-
模型制作
Develop the hull, superstructure, deck structures and other specified components according to the approved project requirements.
-
Finishing and Quality Inspection
Review the overall appearance, colors, markings, assembly and presentation details against the agreed specification.
-
Protective Packing and Delivery
Prepare the model for handling and shipment, taking its dimensions and delicate components into account.
Explore the Scales Model manufacturing process 以及 quality inspection procedures for more information about production and finishing.
Plan Production Around the Ceremony Date
A ship delivery model may need to arrive before a fixed ceremony or handover date. For this reason, the schedule should cover the complete project rather than manufacturing alone.
The required lead time depends on the vessel's complexity, model dimensions, quality of reference materials, required detail, approval process, order quantity and production capacity.
Allow time for reference review, design confirmation, any agreed sample or revisions, production, inspection, packing and transportation. Include a practical contingency period where possible.
If several models are required for different recipients or company offices, identify the quantities and destination addresses early. This makes it easier to coordinate packing and delivery arrangements.
Packaging and International Delivery
Ship models may contain delicate railings, masts, antennas, cranes and other small components. Packaging should be planned around the size, construction and fragility of the finished model.
Before dispatch, confirm the shipping method, delivery address, packaging requirements, expected transit time and responsibility for customs clearance or destination charges. For time-sensitive ceremonies, do not rely solely on an estimated manufacturing completion date.
