The berth/dock assembly sequence for the ship type shows the order of assembling the blocks (or units) at the berth/dock and also identifies the assembly logic. The berth/dock assembly sequence combined with the block breakdown for a ship type is the type plan, and is drawn against arbitrary units of time, such as percentages, 1 to 100. Later in the contract, when calendar dates can be put against the start and completion of construction, the type plan is expanded or contracted and becomes calendar based.
