Abstract
THE reliability of ships' structures and machinery is of utmost concern to activities in a marine environment. Corrosion can have a major effect on this reliability. A number of practical examples will be discussed to illustrate the corrosion hazards that appear between design office and field execution, the weaknesses inherent in some commonly used metals, and how an understanding of corrosion can be of major significance in ensuring reliability.
