New materials

Research and adoption of new materials represent a key driver for sustainable innovation. The goal is to improve the energy efficiency, durability and safety of ships, while at the same time reducing environmental impact.

We collaborate with universities and research centers to develop advanced materials that meet the highest standards of safety and technical performance.

Among the solutions under development are:

ANTI-CORROSION COATINGS
LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS WITH HIGH THERMAL RESISTANCE
ELECTRICAL AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS COMPATIBLE WITH ALTERNATIVE FUELS
