Minimum Steel Thicknesses For Narrowboats

This paper is about the minimum steel thicknesses for narrowboats, which was published by IIMS in their 'The Report' magazine. This paper was written by Tom Keeling, committee member of the Small Ships SIG

The paper challenges what is a safe minimum for steel hull thickness, and what can be considered a safe loss of plating thickness through wear and corrosion. It seeks to challenge insurers and underwriters to have a uniform position that the industry can agree on, and to open debate amongst marine surveyors.
