Shipbuilding contract is a non-maritime contract and not within the Admiralty jurisdiction because it is insufficiently related to any rights and duties pertaining to sea commerce and/or navigation. The property passes to the buyer when the ship has been completed. To avoid difficulties, provision can be made for the property to pass in stage in the process of development and construction. It is different from most hire-purchase agreements where the seller has ownership of the property until the payment of the final installment.

It is a condition to comply with the agreed description when performing the contract. == Standard forms of contract == Shipbuilding contract are constructed within the framework of standard contract forms amended by the contractual parties to meet their particular requirements.
