The Marine Industry poses a raft of requirements for engineering materials. The first one that comes to mind is the issue of corrosion many materials face in salt water solutions, so a resistance to these events is a must. With a specific weight of 1.025Kg/l, marine structures must also be incredibly strong to withstand the forces inflicted by seawater, both stationary and under pressure from, let alone the weight of ships and liners themselves.

Often within the world of engineering, there are crossovers within industries, and this is also true of the Marine industry. As well as all of the vessels used at sea level, including; boats, yachts, desalination plants etc, we also have to consider the uses of equipment which aren't utilising the sea itself, but are more interested in what lies beneath. Oil & Gas, for example, sits neatly within this particular segment, and the materials used must withstand both the marine environment and the chemical.
