Performance of Thick Steel Plates in Ship Hull Construction

Ship hulls must withstand heavy waves, high impact forces, and long-term exposure to seawater. Thick steel plates are widely used to build the outer shell and internal structural components of ships. Their high tensile strength helps resist deformation caused by wave pressure and cargo loads. Special marine-grade thick plates also provide improved resistance to corrosion and cracking, which is essential for vessels operating in harsh maritime environments. Using high-quality thick plates enhances the stability, durability, and overall safety of ships throughout their service life.
