• Fincantieri signed a memorandum of understanding with Teijin Automotive Technologies to jointly develop non-structural ship bulkheads made from advanced composite materials.
• Teijin will lead engineering work, industrialization efforts, supported by Fincantieri, targeting lighter components with greater functional integration for naval applications.
• The bulkheads will use an Aeronautical Service-patented composite that has obtained “non-combustibility” certification, a key requirement for onboard use.
• The tie-up forms part of Fincantieri’s push to expand beyond steel construction, aiming to accelerate adoption of carbon-based composites across civil, military shipbuilding programs.
