In response to the requirements of the shipbuilding industry, JFE Steel has developed and commercialized advanced shipbuilding steel products. Designs and properties of 6 steel products for shipbuilding are described in the paper. They are: 1) new TMCP (thermo-mechanical control process) steel plates, weldable with high heat input, for container ships, and 2) LP (longitudinal profiled) plates (also called taper plates), both contribute to the increase in productivity at shipyards through the large reduction of welding time, 3) anti-corrosion steel plates for crude oil tankers NAC5 which contribute to high performance of ships from the viewpoint of corrosion, 4) cladded steel plates for chemical tankers, 5) anti-corrosion pipes, JFE-MARINE-COP, used in crude oil tankers for loading and unloading crude oil, which improves corrosion wear performance in onboard oil receiving pipes used in loading and unloading crude oil, and 6) shapes for shipbuilding which are produced using TMCP to realize weldability as good as steel plates. In the future, JFE Steel Group will continue to develop 'Only 1' and 'No 1' products which meet the needs of the shipbuilding industry, for example, by contributing to higher productivity and higher performance, including ship collision safety, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance. Through the products mentioned above, JFE Steel will contribute to the development of society and protection of the global environment.
