A new type of plastic steel, which gives three times better crash protection than usual, used in a newly built bulk carriers.
A bulk carrier of the same type as the crash protected settlement.
Red and yellow portions built with a durable steel.
There are Japanese Mitsui OSK Lines, which had built a 300 meter long bulk carrier with a deadweight tonnage of 206,600 tons with the newly developed steel along the long sides.
steel plates called Nsafe-Hull, and has been developed of steelmaker Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal together with two sjöforskningsinstitut.
Panels of the new steel quality is arguably easier to shape and has good weldability. They have three times the strength of traditional steel used in shipping.
The plastic properties will prevent water ingress during a side impact, as well as oil from flowing out of the vessel.
3000 tons of steel typent Nsafe_Hull has been used along the sides and in the manufacture of fuel tanks.
The ship was launched in early August at Imarabis laps in Saijo, Japan. The shipyard will market the steel also for construction of other vessels than for bulk carriers.
