CCS Shipbuilding Steel Plate


CCS shipbuilding steel refers to ship steel materials that meet the standards of the China Classification Society. CCS is one of the internationally recognized classification societies, providing classification and certification services for ships and offshore engineering equipment.

 

As a professional CCS shipbuilding steel plate supplier, GNEE STEEL provides fully CCS-certified ship plates with stable performance, complete specifications, and reliable quality, widely used in the construction of various ships and offshore engineering equipment, and trusted by customers in more than 50 countries and regions worldwide.


Characteristics of CCS Ship Steel

 

Clear and Strict Low-Temperature Toughness Requirements

 

  • Grade D/E: Impact energy ≥ 34J at -20℃ ~ -40℃
  • F/H High-Strength Steel: Retains high toughness even at -60℃ (e.g. EH47 / FH40)
  • Emphasis on CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement) for improved crack resistance in weld heat-affected zones

 

CCS steel plates deliver stable low-temperature toughness, excellent impact resistance and effective resistance to crack propagation.

Classification of CCS Ship Steel

  • CCS shipbuilding steel can be classified into multiple grades based on its usage and performance.
  • Normal Strength Hull Structural Steel (such as grades A, B, D, E)
  • High Strength Hull Structural Steel (such as grades AH32, DH32, EH32, AH36, DH36, EH36)
  • Extra High Strength Hull Structural Steel (such as grades AH40, DH40, EH40)


Applications of CCS Ship Steel

  • Bulk carriers, container ships, oil tankers, chemical tankers
  • Offshore engineering, offshore platforms, port machinery
  • Inland vessels, coastal ships, ocean-going vessels, polar low-temperature ships
  • Export ships, vessels for third-country shipowners, Chinese-flagged ships



In summary, CCS ship steel is a key material for ensuring the safety and reliability of ships and offshore engineering equipment.

Note: Equivalent grades from different classification societies have similar mechanical properties and application scenarios, as they all comply with IACS unified requirements, but there may be slight differences in chemical composition and impact test details.

 

For example, CCS AH32 is equivalent to ABS AH32 and DNV AH32, but CCS has stricter control over micro-alloying elements to ensure weldability for thick plates.

 

Customers can consult GNEE STEEL's technical team for detailed matching suggestions based on specific project standards and regional classification society requirements.

FAQ

 

What is the steel equivalent of AH36?

The CCS AH36 equivalent steel in GB standard is Q345B. It can be proved from below comparision between chemical composition and mechanical property of CCS AH36 steel and Q345B steel.

 

What is the difference between EH36 and AH36?

EH36 includes mandatory micro-alloying elements (niobium, vanadium, titanium) for enhanced grain refinement and toughness. AH36 allows flexibility in micro-alloying, making it more cost-effective for standard applications

 

What is the meaning of the CCS grade designation?​

"CCS" stands for China Classification Society; "A/B/D/E" indicates the quality grade (differentiated by impact temperature); "H" represents high-strength; the number (32/36/40) indicates the minimum yield strength (e.g., AH32 means high-strength grade with 315 MPa yield strength, impact temperature -20℃). "F" in FH36 indicates ultra-low temperature toughness (impact temperature -60℃).​

 

What are the maximum thickness and width of CCS shipbuilding steel plate provided by GNEE STEEL? 

The standard thickness range is 3-300mm, width 1200-4200mm, length 3000-18000mm. We support customized specifications, including special thickness (up to 350mm), width (up to 4800mm), and length. We also support small-order customization (minimum order quantity 1 ton) and urgent orders to meet your project schedule.​

 

Do CCS shipbuilding steel plates require special welding processes? 

They have excellent weldability; ordinary arc welding or MIG welding can be used. For thick plates (>50mm), low preheating (100-150℃) is recommended to avoid welding cracks. We provide free professional welding guidance, including welding material selection, preheating temperature, and post-welding heat treatment parameters, referring to CCS "Materials and Welding Code" and GB/T 712 standards.​

 

Can GNEE STEEL provide CCS certification and quality certificates for the plates?​

Yes. All our CCS shipbuilding steel plates have CCS certification, and we can provide EN 10204 3.1/3.2 mill test certificates, including chemical composition, mechanical properties, impact test, and ultrasonic flaw detection reports. We also provide third-party testing services (SGS, BV) if required, ensuring compliance with international project requirements.​

 

What is the lead time for CCS shipbuilding steel plates? 

For stock specifications, delivery can be made within 3-7 days; for customized specifications, the lead time is 15-30 days. We cooperate with well-known logistics companies (Maersk, COSCO) to deliver to more than 50 countries and regions, with flexible transportation methods (sea, air, land) available. We are familiar with the import policies and customs clearance processes of various countries, especially Asian, European, and American markets.​

 

What is the difference between CCS normal strength and high-strength shipbuilding steel? 

Normal strength grades (A/B/D/E) have yield strength 235-275 MPa, suitable for low-load, normal-temperature marine scenarios; high-strength grades (AH32-FH36) have yield strength 315-355 MPa, better low-temperature toughness, suitable for large ships and harsh marine environments. Choose based on ship type, navigation area, and structural load: small ships in tropical seas can choose CCS A/B; large ships and offshore platforms choose AH32/FH36.​

Case : Steel Plates Supply for 100,000m³ Full Containment Ammonia Storage Tank Project

 

GNEE STEEL is currently participating in the procurement phase of a 100,000m³ full containment ammonia storage tank project, supplying high-quality steel plates for critical tank components. Due to the corrosive nature of ammonia and the risk of Ammonia Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC), the project requires strict metallurgical control of materials according to EN 10028-3 standards.

 

One of the most important technical requirements of this project is the strict limitation of the actual Yield Strength (Re) for all NL2 grade materials. To prevent SCC risks in ammonia storage environments, the actual yield strength must not exceed 390 MPa, regardless of the nominal values specified in the standard or plate thickness ranges. This requirement places higher demands on steelmaking process control, heat treatment stability, and material testing.

 

steel plate for 100,000 m³ ammonia storage tank

Raw high-strength steel plates ready for the 100,000 m³ full containment ammonia storage tank production

 

Project Materials and Technical Requirements

 

The project mainly uses P355NL2 and P275NL2 normalized pressure vessel steel plates, which are widely applied in low-temperature storage tanks due to their excellent toughness and weldability.

 

Key technical specifications include:

  • Material grades: P355NL2 and P275NL2 (Normalized)
  • Yield strength: Standard minimum / Maximum limited to 390 MPa
  • Hardness: ≤ 225 HBW in base material
  • Impact testing: Charpy-V notch test at -50°C, minimum 27J
  • Certification: EN 10204 3.1 certificate, with optional 3.2 certification

 

These strict requirements ensure that the steel plates maintain stable mechanical properties and high resistance to ammonia-induced stress corrosion during long-term operation.

Precision rolling and forming of steel plates into curved sections for the 100,000 m³ ammonia storage tank.

 

Project Plate Quantities and Thickness Distribution

 

The total steel demand for this ammonia storage tank project is several thousand tons, mainly distributed across different tank sections:

 

P355NL2 – Inner & Outer Tank Shell Plates

  • Lower shell courses: 50 mm thickness – approx. 2,000 tons
  • Middle shell courses: 25 mm thickness – approx. 1,400 tons
  • Upper shell courses: 10 mm thickness – approx. 500 tons

 

P275NL2 – Tank Bottom Plates

  • Thickness: 10–15 mm – approx. 750 tons

 

P275NL2 – Suspended Roof Structure

  • Thickness: 5–8 mm – approx. 180 tons

 

S275JR – Outer Roof (Ambient Structure)

  • Thickness: 10 mm – approx. 450 tons

 

To improve tank fabrication efficiency and reduce circumferential welds, the project also requires wide steel plates to minimize welding joints, which helps reduce the potential risk of SCC in ammonia service conditions.
