Abstract

A national joint research project, which is focusing on the safety-related issue of extremely thick steel plate applied to hull of large container ships, was conducted from April 2007 to March 2009 organized by the Japan Ship Technology Research Association (JSTRA) supported by the Japanese Government in collaboration with universities, research institute, classification societies and relevant industries including shipbuilding, steel manufacturing and shipping. The joint research project made practical recommendations to prevent brittle fracture of hull in large container ships. Overview of the working group activities and the recommendations are presented in this paper.
