Advanced FRP Composite

The advanced non-corrosive composite of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) construction uses glass, Kevlar and carbon to give a strong and robust structure. The results are a lightweight vessel with minimal maintenance and servicing, thus insuring prolonged vessel life. This is in contrast to the conventional aluminum materials used in the past.

• Completely non-corrosive
• Durability with excellent impact resistance and energy absorbing properties
• Flexible and lightweight
• Completely homogeneous structure that effectively eliminates high stress points and fatigue failure
• Minimal maintenance limiting dry dock servicing
