Abstract: While there are considerable differences between yards most face common economic conditions, in a global market. As a result, yards are putting in place new information systems to support great design flexibility and more efficient production processes. Their goal is to improve their competitive position through innovative design, increased quality, faster time-to-market and more efficient cost controls. Therefore, improving project management becomes critical in meeting these challenges. Project Management in the 21t century is market by two paradoxical trends: an emergence of new technologies that allow project team members to function globally in increasingly effective way and a movement to reemphasize the art of project management – active listening, negotiating, conflict resolution, problem  solving, communication, influencing and other leadership skills [3].

 Key words: design, project management, planning team, blocks assembly, outfitting.
