en.Wedoany.com Reported - Italian shipbuilding group Fincantieri and Teijin Automotive Technologies, the European subsidiary of Japan's Teijin Limited, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on advancing the engineering of non-structural composite bulkheads for ships.

Under the memorandum, Teijin Automotive Technologies, with support from Fincantieri, will lead engineering and industrialization efforts, aiming to introduce innovative composite solutions for the maritime sector, with a focus on weight reduction and functional integration to meet stringent operational and safety standards for vessels.

These bulkheads will be developed using patented composite materials from Aeronautical Service, an Italian SME specializing in advanced aerospace solutions. Fincantieri has already partnered with them to promote the large-scale application of carbon fiber composites in civil and military shipbuilding. The material has been certified as non-flammable, a critical requirement for marine applications.

Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri, stated that the agreement confirms the company's positioning to lead the shipbuilding industry's evolution towards the best available technologies and high-performance solutions that go beyond steel.

This collaboration further implements Fincantieri's industrial strategy to expand the use of advanced materials, supporting the continuous evolution of ship design and manufacturing processes. By integrating innovative composites, it enhances vessel configuration flexibility, enabling a more effective response to changing requirements in both civil and naval projects.
