Start year 2002 End year 2005 Funding (€) € NA Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/352012/ Summary The background for the project was expressed needs in the fishing fleet to assess new material solutions in selected components and substructures on fishing vessels. Most fishing vessels are weight critical and
a weight reduction can, depending on the type of vessel, contribute to increased stability, increased load capacity, increased speed and reduced fuel costs. There was a further need to consider new ones material solutions that can help reduce costs, need maintenance, corrosion and wear and which can help to simplify installation and improve insulation of furnishings and cargo spaces on fishing vessels. Based on this, the Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Fund wanted to start an activity aimed at examining the benefits that can be achieved by adopting new ones material solutions in the fishing fleet. The project ""New material solutions for the fishing fleet"" which was started in the summer of 2002, was carried out as a collaboration between SINTEF Materials and Chemistry and SINTEF Fisheries and aquaculture. The project was funded by the Fisheries and Aquaculture Research Fund (FHF) and administered by the Research Council of Norway.
The main objective of the project was to:
Find new material solutions that can help reduce weight, corrosion, wear, maintenance needs as well as to simplify installation and improve insulation of furnishings and cargo spaces fishing vessel.
The following sub-goals were formulated:
- Mapping components on fishing vessels where the use of composite materials can contribute to reduce weight and corrosion problems,
- Map components on fishing vessels where there is high wear and frequent maintenance
- Establish concepts for the production of components in composite materials and possibly others corrosion-resistant materials and show potential for weight and maintenance savings.
- Develop new concepts to reduce wear.
