Sr. No. Application Area Fastener Types Primary Functions Materials Commonly Used Key Performance & Regulatory Factors
1 Ship Hull & Deck Structures Bolts, Nuts, Rivets, Clamp Fasteners
  • Secure external plates and deck fittings
  • Maintain watertight integrity and withstand wave impacts
 Marine-grade stainless steel (e.g., 316), duplex or super duplex steels, corrosion-resistant coatings
  • Must resist saltwater corrosion and constant wave impact
  • Subject to classification society rules (e.g., DNV, ABS, Lloyd’s Register)
  • Regular inspections for hull integrity
2 Offshore Platforms & Rigs High-Strength Bolts, Tensioners, Anchor Fasteners
  • Connect structural modules, topsides, and leg assemblies
  • Provide secure anchoring against wind and waves
 Super duplex stainless steel, coated carbon steels, specialty alloys
  • Operate under extreme weather and high-load conditions
  • Require compliance with API and offshore standards (e.g., DNV-OS-C101)
  • Must endure fatigue and dynamic loading over long service intervals
3 Mooring & Anchoring Systems Chain Links, Shackles, Eye Bolts, Swivel Fasteners
  • Secure vessels or rigs to seabed mooring lines
  • Sustain heavy tensile and torsional loads
 Forged steel (grade-specific), high-tensile steel, corrosion protection coatings
  • Must handle wave-induced motion, currents, and tidal forces
  • Regularly inspected under IMO guidelines
  • Critical for preventing drift and collision in harsh marine conditions
4 Marine Engines & Propulsion Studs, Lock Nuts, Specialized Screws (e.g., for turbochargers)
  • Fasten engine components (cylinder heads, turbochargers)
  • Maintain alignment under high vibration and heat
 Heat-resistant stainless steel, nickel-based alloys (Inconel), titanium
  • Must handle wave-induced motion, currents, and tidal forces
  • Must comply with IMO Tier emission standards (for new engines)
  • Frequent maintenance intervals to ensure reliability
5 Subsea Equipment & Pipelines Clamp Connectors, Flange Bolts, Seal Bolts
  • Join and seal underwater pipelines, wellheads, manifolds
  • Maintain pressure integrity and resist corrosion
 Super duplex stainless steel, Inconel, titanium, protective coatings
  • Operate in high-pressure subsea environments (deepwater)
  • Subject to NACE MR0175 for sour service
  • Critical sealing to prevent leaks, ensuring environmental protection
6 Shipboard Machinery & Systems Hex Bolts, Studs, Couplings, Quick-Release Pins
  • Secure pumps, compressors, generators, and auxiliaries
  • Allow rapid disassembly for maintenance
 316/316L stainless steel, coated carbon steel, sometimes aluminum-bronze alloys
  • High exposure to humidity, salt spray, and vibrations
  • Must meet or exceed ISO/DIN marine-grade standards
  • Quick-release or captive designs can reduce downtime during repairs
7 Cargo Handling & Deck Cranes High-Tensile Bolts, Clevis Pins, Turnbuckles
  • Fasten crane booms, cargo rails, and lifting components
  • Withstand shock loads from heavy lifting
 High-tensile steel, galvanized or coated for corrosion protection
  • Dynamic loading under cargo swings and high wind
  • Must adhere to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) guidelines for cargo operations
  • Frequent load tests and inspections to ensure operational safety
8 Superstructure & Accommodation Screws, Rivets, Panel Fasteners, Hinges
  • Join bulkheads, stairways, doors, and windows
  • Provide secure and watertight compartments
 Aluminum alloys, stainless steels, composite-compatible inserts
  • Require fire-retardant and waterproof properties (IMO FTP Code)
  • Must resist galvanic corrosion when aluminum meets stainless
  • Often designed for rapid assembly and aesthetic finish
9 Ballast Systems & Tankage Sealing Fasteners, Gaskets, Flange Bolts
  • Keep ballast tanks watertight
  • Facilitate controlled intake and discharge of ballast water
 Corrosion-resistant alloys, coated carbon steel, specialized seals
  • Must comply with Ballast Water Management (BWM) standards
  • Ensuring no leakages or contamination
  • Frequent checks to maintain water-tight integrity and prevent marine pollution
10 Exhaust & Ventilation Systems Clamps, Studs, High-Temp Screws
  • Secure exhaust ducts and ventilation units
  • Withstand vibration and elevated temperatures
 Heat-resistant stainless steel (e.g., 321, 347), high-temperature coatings
  • Thermal cycling from engine exhaust
  • Must meet emission control regulations
  • Requires regular inspection for cracks and leaks to maintain air quality and engine efficiency
