GNEE Aluminum supplied a bulk order (lot quantities per contract) of 5083-H116 aluminum plate to Malaysia, specified for shipbuilding and marine structures, pressure vessels, tank fabrication and transport equipment. The order was delivered with EN 10204 3.1 MTC and full export documentation.
GNEE Aluminum has successfully completed another export order of 5083-H116 aluminum plate for an industrial buyer in Malaysia. The material was specified for shipbuilding and marine structures, pressure vessels, tank fabrication and transport equipment, where long-term reliability, dimensional accuracy and certified quality were the customer's primary concerns. This shipment continues GNEE's track record of supplying aluminum plate to industrial buyers across Southeast Asia, and shows the company's ability to meet order-specific dimensions, tempers and inspection requirements without compromising delivery time.
Malaysia is a growing Southeast Asian market for marine, offshore, construction and manufacturing aluminum, with buyers requiring certified material and export documentation. Buyers in this market typically require compliance with ASTM B209 / EN 485 / EN 573 specifications, full material traceability, tight dimensional accuracy, and third-party inspection documentation. For shipbuilding and marine structures, pressure vessels, tank fabrication and transport equipment, local fabricators and end-users look for suppliers who can provide both standard stock sizes and engineered lengths, supported by mill test certificates accepted by international inspectors.
Customer Technical Requirements
During the technical evaluation, the Malaysia customer submitted detailed dimensions and requested inspection procedures aligned with ASTM B209 / EN 485 / EN 573 to ensure service reliability. GNEE's technical team confirmed alloy, temper and tolerances against the application conditions, and agreed on the inspection plan, surface condition and packing method before the order entered production. Any deviation from the agreed specification was resolved with the customer in advance.
For shipbuilding and marine structures, pressure vessels, tank fabrication and transport equipment, the selected 5083-H116 aluminum plate delivers the properties the application demands. High strength, excellent seawater corrosion resistance; marine / shipbuilding. In service, the material must keep its properties under the operating environment while holding dimensional stability during machining, welding or forming. GNEE's technical team reviewed the customer's drawing and operating conditions, then confirmed the alloy, temper and tolerance class before production, so the supplied lot matched the downstream process without rework.

Quality Control
Every aluminum plate in this order was produced and inspected under GNEE's standard quality system, from incoming ingot verification to final dimensional and visual checks. Mill test certificates to EN 10204 3.1 are provided with the shipment; 3.2 certificates and third-party inspection (such as SGS or BV) can be arranged on request. The inspection items below were applied to this lot and recorded in the corresponding mill test report.
Ultrasonic test (UT) per ASTM B594 - Detects internal laminations in plate that could fail under load or forming.
Tensile test (per MTC) - Confirms the plate meets the mechanical properties of the ordered temper.
Flatness & thickness gauge - Checks thickness tolerance and flatness so the plate welds and cuts without distortion.
Visual & edge inspection - Verifies edge quality and surface condition for welding and fabrication readiness.
Bend test for formable tempers - For formable tempers, confirms the material bends without cracking.
Export Packaging for Safe Delivery to Malaysia
For the delivery to Malaysia, the aluminum plate was packed with seaworthy export materials - protected with interleaving paper / PVC and bound on strong wooden or steel pallets, with end caps and moisture-proof wrapping as required. Each bundle was labelled with heat number, dimensions and net / gross weight. Packing lists, commercial invoice, bill of lading and the EN 10204 3.1 MTC were prepared for smooth customs clearance, and packing photos can be shared before container loading.
