The invention relates to a ship building and repairing large-size overhead work platform, which consists of a pedestal platform, a transitional platform, a top part platform, a hydraulic system, an electric control device, an electromagnetic fixing device, and a side supporting electromagnetic adsorption cylinder. All the platforms are connected and supported through a supporting frame with a lifting oil cylinder and are adsorbed to a ship body through the side supporting electromagnetic adsorption cylinder. Each platform is provided with a ladder for the convenience of climbing up and down temporarily in construction. The transitional platform and the top part platform are provided with a ship direction extending platform close to the ship direction, and the top part platform is further provided with a forward extending platform and a backward extending platform along the ship length direction. The pedestal platform is supported on a slipway by four fixed vertically telescopic supporting legs and four transversely and vertically telescopic supporting legs, the front end of the pedestal platform is provided with a hydraulic station, and the back end thereof is provided with the electric control device. The center of the top part platform can also be provided with a board house for work, rest and activity. The ship building and repairing large-size overhead work platform can build a safe three-dimensional working surface efficiently and quickly, shorten the cycle of occupying the slipway, improve the ship building and repairing efficiency, improve the working environment of workers, and reduce the labor intensity of the workers; besides, the hip building and repairing large-size overhead work platform is flexible, has small occupied area and is applicable to the ship building and repairing of various shipyards.
