Due to the increase in the seaborne trade volume, shipbuilders are constructing larger ships in search of greater efficiency. Also, environmental regulations have become stricter due to an increased awareness of safety and environmental issues concerning marine transport.

NIPPON STEEL can meet these needs for larger ships and help correspond to stricter regulations with our product lineup; high-strength arrest steel for mega-container ships, our corrosion resistant NSGP^TM series for oil tankers, and our NSafe^TM-Hull series with outstanding collision safety.

As mining development and urban development continues on a global scale, the need for high durability parts is increasing in the machinery industry.
ABREX^TM, NIPPON STEEL's abrasion resistant steel plate series, assures weldability, a wide lineup of specifications and sizes, the world's highest level of hardness and low temperature toughness (five times harder than mild steel). NIPPON STEEL can also provide full technological support.
ABREX^TM is widely used for shovels, crushers, and dump trucks that operate in severe environments.

As newly constructed building structures continue to follow the trend of varticalization and upsizing, the need for steel plate with improved earthquake resistance as well as user-friendliness is increasing. Using our proprietary technology, NIPPON STEEL provides products with high strength, toughness, and workability. With our lineup, we satisfy a broad range of customer needs such as safety improvement, shortening construction periods and extending service life.

Bridges are essential infrastructures that support people's lives. Therefore, bridges must be economical, safe, and durable both under construction and management afterwards. NIPPON STEEL develops products with high strength and corrosion resistance, and proposes diverse solutions using our world class technical capabilities. We can meet customer needs such as shortening construction periods, improving the work environment, and extending service life.

Tanks and pressure vessels are used under severe conditions from the refining process to the power storage process. Steel plates used for such structures are required to have high strength and toughness under severe temperature conditions.
NIPPON STEEL can meet these needs with our proprietary technology and contribute to resource conservation and reducing environmental burdens by proposing various advanced steel products and solutions.

As the mining environment for subsea resources becomes more severe, the needs for steel plate with high strength and toughness under low temperatures have increased.
NIPPON STEEL can contribute to the solution of customer issues with a wide range of steel products with high strength and toughness used for the development of the offshore energy resources, especially in the great depths over 1000m or in the North Sea and Arctic zones.
