Composite in the maritime / offshore industryx

Lightweight composite deckhouse

Our company owes its existence to the maritime sector. The use of composite - fiber reinforced plastics in particular - as a construction material, and the early acceptance thereof in this industry, is easy to explain.

The maritime / offshore industry characteristics are: relatively low production volumes, freedom of form for an optimal streamline, a drive to increased performance (lightweight versus strength & stiffness) and longevity with minimal maintenance, being resistant to extreme weather conditions, corrosion-free, UV-resistant and easy to repair! The ideal building material for the maritime and offshore industry can be summarized in a word: Composite!

Holland Composites produces the composite deck houses for the Windcat workboats, to save weight and fuel. In addition, comfort is increased by the silence in the corrosion-free cabin.

Composite sonar dome (or sonar window)

One of our specialties is making large, complex shaped, thick-walled composite sonar domes in a single production run. In 1999, Holland Composites developed a new technique to produce sonar domes - the excellent spherical part under the forecourt of large (war) ships such as frigates where the sonar is housed. Until that time, sonar domes were either of metal or glued from multiple (composite) parts.

We produce a single composite construction - without secondary connection - with a wall thickness of 20 to 80 mm which protects the sonar installation against slamming and vibrations. In addition to known advantages of composite such as strength and stiffness with relatively low weight, longer life and minimal maintenance, it is a big plus that the density of a composite laminate is closer to the density of water, and that the propagation speed of the sound thereby less disruption (which leads to better data from the sonar).

Reviewsx

"The comfort, speed and fuel efficiency of these vessels is really amazing and I often heard from passengers that we have the best boat in the whole construction site, where sometimes up to 15 CTV's / crewboats are running. It is a pleasure to drive these fast and efficient boats and our customers love the comfort, the modern look and the silence in our passenger area" Captain Matthias Schelenz, Windcat Workboats
