Recently, there have been the increase of ship size and the development of oil and gas in arctic region. These trends have led to the requirements such as high strength, good toughness at low temperature and good weldability. The high performance structural steels for shipbuilding and arctic offshore structure have been developed by our own micro-alloying and TMCP technologies. M-A constituent was precisely controlled in the both HAZ and base metal to get high toughness at low temperature. Also, the grain growth of austenite at HAZ was effectively suppressed by thermally stable TiN particles, leading to a good HAZ toughness. On the other hand, there has been the key issue of crack arrestability in large size container ship. The effect of joint design on crack arrestability was investigated to prevent a catastrophic failure along the block joint of hatch side coaming. A brittle crack arrest technique was developed without block joint shift, using an arrest weld in the end of hatch side coaming weld line.
