Talk:Concrete ship

message: At the first line of the article, "Concrete ships are ships built of steel and ferrocement (reinforced concrete) instead "
So the ships are made of steel and reinforced concrete or steel and ferrocement? I had read the article of reinforced concrete, concerete and ferrocement, and none appears to be 3 different thing.. Can somebody tell me what are they made off actually? 153.20.24.68 (talk) 05:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This Wikipedia article is absolutely appalling. The very first sentence is complete nonsense -  Concrete ships are built primarily with ferrocement (reinforced concrete) hulls, reinforced with steel bars. as it instantly confuses the reader and the cited source does not back up the statement. Reinforced-concrete and ferro-cement are not the same thing. Concrete is a mix of cement, sand, water and aggregate. 'Cement' is cement, sand and water. Concrete ships were constructed with steel reinforced concrete. Ferro-cement vessels are built with cement plastered over mesh. 2001:BB6:4BFF:E800:E977:C4E0:61AF:E729 (talk) 00:54, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: What material are this ship actually made off 

message: The article seems to be contradicting itself, it state towards the end of the history part that... "Although the end of WW II marked the end of large-scale ferro-cement ship building, to this day, smaller recreational boats are still being made from ferro-cement.". So this implies that they are still in-use and new ones still being built.
However the "Today" section of the article says..."Concrete ships are no longer in use as ships.". So comes the contradiction and confusion. So are they actually in-use today or not? (I'm adding a Contradictory template to the article because of this). --Hibernian 20:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article mixes barges and ships together, maybe they are a different category. Concrete barges are still in use today and being built, in the Netherlands that is, but these aren't exactly ships.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.168.122.157 (talk) 11:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
