Fincantieri, one of the world’s largest shipbuilding groups, and Teijin Automotive Technologies, a European subsidiary of Teijin Ltd., a Japanese global leader in advanced composite solutions have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the engineering of non-structural composite bulkheads for maritime vessels.
According to the agreement, Teijin Automotive Technologies will lead engineering and industrialization activities with the support of Fincantieri. The initiative aims to introduce innovative composite solutions into the marine sector, focusing on weight reduction and integration of functions to meet the most stringent operational and safety requirements for maritime vessels.
The bulkheads will be developed using an innovative composite material patented by Aeronautical Service, an Italian SME-company specialized in advanced aerospace solutions. Fincantieri is already collaborating with Aeronautical Service to enable large-scale adoption of carbon-based composites and cutting-edge technologies in both civil and military shipbuilding. The material has successfully obtained non‑combustibility certification, a key requirement for application on board maritime vessels.
