SWZ|Maritime's November issue looks into the use of composites in the maritime industry. Although still a relatively new material and more difficult to work with than steel, it does offer significant advantages such as light weight, freedom of design, damping of sound and it requires less maintenance. Discover where we're at and the remaining barriers to a large-scale uptake.
In addition, learn all about Australia's new Antarctic Supply and Research Vessel (ASRV) Nuyina, currently being built by Damen. A remarkable ship and a first for the Dutch shipbuilding industry, as it never before constructed an icebreaker of this size.
The November issue also looks back on the Maritime Awards Gala and the winners, features a new episode of "Lifelong learning" and contains the third episode of the "Transatlantic Journey of the Viking (1892-1893)".
