Saint-Gobain’ s quest for lightness, performance and durability supports the rise of a new generation of zero-emission ships.
Lightweight construction is a must-win battle in maritime, since each additional kilogram on a vessel increases its fuel consumption and, ultimately, its carbon footprint. This is why Saint-Gobain Marine is committed to making industryleading products that combine lightness and great performance.
For example, the International Maritime Organization( IMO) has set targets to reduce carbon intensity by 40 % in 2030 and 50 % in 2050( compared to 2008) and Saint-Gobain Marine aligns its products with these goals.
Saint-Gobain Marine is a single point of contact for shipbuilders, naval architects, shipyards and fitters, meeting the needs of all markets, ranging from cruise ships and container ships to offshore. The company deploys a solution-oriented approach that serves customers’ interests and complies with the most stringent requirements.
