Marine engineering

As one of the most important means of transportation in the world, ships transport nearly 90% of goods through steel vessels.


It is estimated that a total of 17 million containers are in use globally, most of which are made of steel.


Steel plays a crucial role in transportation, shipbuilding, and ocean engineering. However, due to the harsh marine working environment, the ship's hull is subject to chemical corrosion, electrochemical corrosion, marine organism and microbial corrosion, as well as being subjected to significant wind and wave impacts and alternating loads. Therefore, the requirements for materials are extremely strict to ensure that production activities are very safe and reliable


Compared to traditional structural thick steel plates, modern thick steel plates are lightweight, have high tensile strength, and have good corrosion resistance, making them very suitable for shipbuilding and other structural manufacturing, making it possible to build ships with lighter weight and larger capacity. In most ship structures, steel is an indispensable material, such as the hull, deck, bulkheads, anchor chains, bulk carriers, and containers, which are all made of steel plates.


In addition, steel also plays a crucial role in ocean engineering projects. By adding an appropriate amount of alloy elements, steel greatly improves its durability and rust resistance. Structural components made of special steel have a longer service life and can resist common corrosion in other steel grades or alternative materials.


Jiujiang can provide customers with a variety of high-quality ship and offshore engineering steel products, such as medium and heavy plates, profile steel and various special steel products, which are mainly used to manufacture key structures such as hull, drill pipe, anchor chain, offshore oil platform, etc. We can provide ship and offshore engineering steel products specified by different national classification societies according to your needs.


For over a decade, Zoomlion Products has continuously provided high-quality steel products to steel processing centers and end users in the fields of shipbuilding and ocean engineering. We have established long-term and stable cooperation and channel relationships with hundreds of steel mills, ensuring that these products are made of high-quality materials and comply with various international standards.
