The government of the Republic of China attaches much importance to the shipbuilding industry and renders it great assistance. The China Ship Building Corporation owns the world's second largest dry dock. To help improve further techniques and designs and to increase the self-manufacture rate, the School of Engineering of National Taiwan University established the Institute of Naval Architecture in 1973. It undertakes ship model testing, research in engineering problems and training of technicians. In ship model testing, the Institute has conducted various tests, including resistance, propulsion, propellers, wake, stability, launching and ship motion in waves.
