The use of steel as a major structural material for marine applications is discussed, with emphasis on its versatility, which enables it to be used for a number of different applications requiring steel of vastly different strength levels and forms, ranging from low strength (250 MN/m2 yield) structural plate to high strength (700 NM/m2 yield) mooring attachments. The importance of steel weldability in ensuring that fabrication schedules are met and that fabrication costs are contained is emphasised. Recent trends to make more extensive use of higher strength steels (> 400 MN2 yield) to save both weight and cost are considered, and the advantages and limitations of such materials are discussed together with the key changes in composition and processing which have enabled these developments to take place.
