Aluminium Sheet/Plate for Shipbuilders

The development of ever faster high-speed ferries and patrol boats, as well as motor boats and sailing yachts for the leisure sector, over the last few years has led to a sharp rise in the demand for alloys which are resistant to seawater. Aluminium alloys produced by Hydro Aluminium provide the ideal answer.

Thanks to Hydro Aluminium's comprehensive knowledge of materials and its experience gained over many years of in-house research and development work on seawater-resistant alloys, we are now the #1 contact address for matters relating to "aluminium in shipbuilding"
We have become specialists in the materials used in the construction of high-speed ferries, yachts and small boats, such as those used in the fishing industry.

Compared with classic materials, Hydro Aluminium alloys display their advantages most clearly in ship, boat and yacht building : they are extremely resistant to corrosion, light and, despite being very strong, can be formed and welded extremely easily.

The sheet, which we produce for use in shipbuilding, is manufactured on ultra-modern rolling equipment and then cut-to-length for subsequent treatment. In addition, we are a supplier of materials certified by all well-known classification societies, such as Det Norske Veritas, Bureau Veritas, the American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyds Register of Shipping and Germanischer Lloyd.
