Abstract: Recently developed corrosion wastage models for marine structural applications are reviewed. A non-linear corrosion model is applied to measured service data of the deck of bulk carriers in order to evaluate the model parameters that adjust to the corrosion rates for those ship structures. Comparisons with corrosion wastage in tankers are given and discussed.
