HIPER 2021

The application of composite technologies continues to grow across all segments of the marine industry. In comparison to traditional materials, composites offer a progressive and sustainable approach to manufacturing through weight reduction for a vessel structure, therefore resulting in better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

This presentation addresses the embodied CO2 value of vessels from cradle to gate. The sustainability benefits of applying composites to marine structures compared to metallic vessels are highlighted, alongside a selection of case studies demonstrating sustainable practices. The main barriers for entry are explored alongside the importance of regulatory requirements to support the adoption of composites in design engineering.
