TRIESTE –<\/strong> Fincantieri<\/a> is expanding its materials innovation strategy and has signed an agreement with Teijin Automotive Technologies<\/a> to develop ship bulkheads made from advanced composite materials, with the aim of reducing vessel weight and increasing efficiency and functional integration on board.
\nThe Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two groups provides for Teijin Automotive Technologies to lead the engineering and industrialisation activities, with the support of the Italian shipbuilding group. The project specifically concerns non-structural bulkheads for ships, made with new-generation composite materials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the heart of the initiative is a material patented by the Italian company Aeronautical Service, already a Fincantieri partner in the development of advanced applications for civil and military shipbuilding. The composite has obtained \u201cnon-combustibility\u201d certification, an essential requirement for use on board naval units.<\/strong>
\nFor Fincantieri, the project represents another step towards the use of alternative technologies to the steel traditionally used in shipbuilding. The aim is to introduce lighter, higher-performance materials capable of improving consumption, sustainability and design flexibility, especially in high-tech military programmes.<\/p>\n

\u00abThis agreement confirms our role as pioneers in driving the evolution of shipbuilding towards the best available technologies and high-performance solutions that go beyond the use of steel\u00bb, said Fincantieri CEO and General Manager Pierroberto Folgiero<\/strong>. According to Folgiero, the use of advanced materials could open up new design possibilities that have so far been difficult to achieve, particularly in the defence sector.
\nSatisfaction was also expressed by Uwe Brinkmann, General Manager of Teijin Automotive Technologies\u2019 European division<\/strong>, who stressed that the collaboration aims to strengthen safety and sustainability in the maritime sector through the use of advanced composites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
