Low-Maintenance Components for Marine Applications
Aluminium’s natural resistance to corrosion in humid and salt-rich environments makes it an ideal low-maintenance material, significantly extending service intervals compared to steel

CO₂ Reduction in Global Shipping
Steel has traditionally been the primary material in shipbuilding; however, aluminium is increasingly replacing it. With a weight reduction of approximately two-thirds compared to steel, aluminium enables the construction of lighter vessels, which in turn improves fuel efficiency and lowers operational costs, contributing to reduced CO₂ emissions in global transport.
