	abstract = {The development of modern marine technology requires flexibility in design and high-quality craftsmanship. To some extent, this necessitates considering the various limitations imposed by shipbuilding enterprises. These limitations influence ships' and marine equipment's construction, characteristics, and operational behavior. The article analyzes the impact of production constraints on a steel floating dock's design and strength characteristics. The strength properties of the facility, determining its suitability for use, have been analyzed using the MARS 2000 software. Two structural models of a floating dock have been developed—one with imposed width constraints and the other without constraints, with the same lifting capacity. It turns out that in the structure with constraints, the strength characteristics are close to those determined by the regulations. This provides grounds to claim that the geometric constraints of small and medium sized enterprises(SME)s do not always negatively impact the structural qualities of floating objects.},
