China 5083 h321 marine grade aluminum sheet in Southeast Asia

Mingtai Aluminum, a leading Chinese aluminum producer, recently announced an order of 5083 H321 marine aluminum sheet from a major shipyard in Southeast Asia. The order includes 500 metric tons of sheet in gauges of 3mm to 200mm and widths of 1,500mm to 3,000mm.
The shipyard will use Mingtai’s 5083 H321 aluminium sheet to build three new cargo freighters due to its superior strength and resistance to corrosion in marine environments. “We selected Mingtai Aluminum as our supplier due to their high product quality, competitive pricing and reputation for reliable delivery,” said the shipyard’s purchasing director.

According to the director, the new freighters will have reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions thanks to the lightweighting enabled by aluminum versus traditional steel. “Mingtai’s 5083 H321 marine grade aluminum sheet offers the best strength-to-weight ratio, allowing us to improve cargo capacity while decreasing costs,” he said. “Its exceptional corrosion resistance also makes it ideal for seafaring vessels with minimal maintenance needs and longer service lives.”
The director described Mingtai as a key partner in the shipyard’s long-term strategy to produce more sustainable and energy-efficient vessels. “As the marine industry moves toward greener technology and transportation, aluminum alloys will play an increasingly important role through enabling innovation,” he said. “Mingtai has become a vital supplier in achieving our key priorities through materials expertly engineered to purpose.”

Going forward, the shipyard plans to source more of its aluminum sheet for shipbuilding from Mingtai due to the high quality, competitive pricing and technical support they receive. “When a supplier consistently meets the stringent requirements of marine applications, it builds a foundation of trust that benefits all parties and the environment,” said the director. “Mingtai makes it possible to reach demanding sustainability goals through high-performance materials and shared expertise for advancing manufacturing.”
