Hulls
SPS offers naval architects, shipbuilders and ship owners a new construction material with scope to adopt a whole new approach to ship design. Complex steel structures are instantly simplified.
Prefabricated plates with factory-applied coatings offer dimensional accuracy, near perfect flatness and reduce costly fit out work. Typical 20m sq plates can be simply produced in large numbers ready for rapid assembly.
SPS hulls feature:
• Greater carrying capacity
• Better access to internal spaces and easier inspection
• Smaller coated areas and reduced through-life maintenance
• Fewer corrosion prone details and better fatigue performance
• Greater stiffness but reduced weight
• Increased impact, blast and ballistics resistance
• Built-in vibration damping and acoustic insulation
• Excellent fire protection
• Increased asset longevity
