The invention relates to EH47 crack arrest steel for a large container ship. The chemical components of a steel plate comprise, by mass, 0.03%-0.06% of C, 0.15%-0.50% of Si, 1.50%-2.00% of Mn, smallerthan or equal to 0.008% of P, smaller than or equal to 0.0050% of S, 0.050%-0.080% of Nb, 0.020%-0.050% of V, 0.008%-0.020% of Ti, 0.80%-1.30% of Ni, 0.10%-0.30% of Cr and 0.10%-0.30% of Cu. The manufacture technology process of the steel plate comprises the steps of smelting, continuous casting, reheating, TMCP rolling and controlled cooling. The steel plate obtains fine and uniform acicular ferrite in the whole thickness, the strength is moderate, the toughness is excellent, the good brittle fracture resistance is achieved, namely, the CTOD characteristic value delta is larger than or equal to 0.15 mm at -60 DEG C, and the crack arrest performance is excellent, namely, Kca is larger than or equal to 6,500 N/mm<3/2>.
