The invention discloses a high-strength steel plate for ocean engineering and a production method thereof. The production method comprises the working procedures of smelting, continuous casting, heating, rolling, heat stacking and heat treatment, wherein the molten steel obtained in the smelting procedure comprises the following chemical ingredients with contents in percentage by mass: 0.05-0.09% of C, 0.10-0.30% of Si, 1.1-1.35% of Mn, not greater than 0.010% of P, not greater than 0.003% of S, 0.15-0.4% of Ni, 0.15-0.35% of Cr, 0.10-0.30% of Mo, 0.020-0.050% of Nb, 0.03-0.05% of V, 0.020-0.050% of TAl, and balance Fe and inevitable impurities; a quenching and tempering process is adopted in the heat treatment procedure; during the quenching process, a heating temperature is 880-910 DEG C, and a total heating time is PLC +(20-40) minutes; and during the tempering process, a heating temperature is 580-620 DEG C, a total heating time is 1.5-2 minutes per millimetre, and air cooling is carried out after discharge. According to the method disclosed by the invention, through adjustment and optimization for the proportion of alloy elements in the steel plate, and quenching and low-temperature short-time tempering, good mechanical properties of the steel plate can be guaranteed under a low-carbon-equivalent condition, and the steel plate is enabled to have good structure, comprehensive property and welding property.
