For decades, our quarto plates have been successfully used as base material to build dozens of ships: from small vessels to the world’s largest cruise ship ever built – Harmony of the Seas.
The reliability and superior quality of our quarto plates offer improved strength, workability, and weldability. They are certified by all major certification bodies and can withstand even low temperatures which makes them suitable for many arctic and deep-sea vessels.
Our steel plates can be supplied as-rolled, thermomechanically rolled or normalised, shot-blasted/painted and/or cut and bevelled on demand. They are now also available in a wider dimensional range and at weights up to 18-19T.
