This paper describes a newly developed steel plate which enables fast-track construction of offshore structures through a short steel delivery period and a short fabrication period with a minimized number of welding procedures and low preheat. The total cost saving achieved by utilizing this steel was actually verified in the construction of Tension Leg Platforms (TLP) in the Gulf of Mexico. This was only possible because of newly developed API 2W composition mono-chemistry which ensures a high heat-affected zone (HAZ) CTOD toughness. In addition to this high steel performance, close teamwork between the end user, fabricator and steelmaker with uninhibited sharing of technical information was the other essential key for the success of these TLP construction projects.
