Can the shipbuilding steel EH36 equivalent S355 plates be used to build ships

The shipbuilding steel EH36 gets good market copmments for its reliability, durability, easy usage, ergonomic design and so on strengths. The shipbuilding steel EH36 is mainly used for making the offshore oil drilling platform, the hull of ship building and ship repairing, the platform components, etc. EH36 steel is high strength steel, and its strength is close to S355 steel. Whether the shipbuilding steel EH36 equivalent S355 plates be used to build ships?

As we know, most ship building projects have strict requirements for classification society certificates, which are only published for special shipbuilding steel such as EH36. The EH36 equivalent S355 plates can not be approved by classification society, though its strength is close to EH36. Under such condition, the shipbuilding steel EH36 equivalent S355 plates can be used to build ships, which has definite requirements for classification society certificates.

But everything is not absolute. Some ships have no requirements for classification society certificates. Theorically, EH36 equivalent S355 plates can also meet the required strength performance, and its price is cheaper to build such ships. For regular ships, it is recommended to choose special shipbuilding steel as raw material.
