| What is an eco-friendly ship? |
An eco-friendly ship offers better fuel efficiency than traditional vessels and
significantly reduces emissions of air and marine pollutants. |
| What is the hull material? |
The hull is made of eco-friendly aluminum and certified by IACS. |
| Is aluminum an eco-friendly material? |
Aluminum is more potent than traditional FRP (fiberglass-reinforced plastic) in terms
of resistance to external impacts and fire. Additionally, it can be recycled at the end
of its service life. |

| cost |
The initial investment required for constructing the ship mold is higher. |
The construction cost is approximately 25-30% higher than that of an FRP ship, but
the overall cost, including maintenance, repair, and recycling at the end of its life, is
lower than that of an FRP vessel. |
| Durability |
FRP is susceptible to external impacts, fire, and
sinking, with deformation occurring
after prolonged exposure to UV rays. |
Aluminum is resistant to external impacts and
does not deform, even with prolonged
exposure to UV rays. |
| Fuel Efficiency |
FRP increases fuel costs due to moisture absorption caused by delamination
cracks over time. |
Aluminum offers 30-35% fuel savings compared to FRP. |
| Weight |
The hull weight of FRP gradually increases due to moisture absorption from layering
over time. |
Aluminum is approximately 30-40%
lighter than FRP and 45-55% lighter than steel. |
| Repair |
FRP allows owners to perform repairs directly |
Aluminum requires professional welding and sheet metal work, limiting the owner's
ability to repair the vessel. |
| Decommissioning |
FRP involves high costs and environmental pollution issues during decommissioning. |
Aluminum is a recyclable hull material that generates income from recycling. |
