By definition, a partner is someone whom you can count on and who can count on you. Further, in true partnerships, all members share the same goals. Last week we had our 3rd partners’ meeting in Gdańsk, Poland, hosted by Artur Karczewski, PhD, Eng. 👨🔬, and Jacek Frost from Gdańsk University of Technology, Wydział Inżynierii Mechanicznej […]
The maritime industry is turning to new-generation material technologies to comply with circular economy principles. Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymers (NFRP) offer significant environmental advantages such as both low energy consumption during the production process and biodegradability or recyclability at the end of life. The TEcoNaut Project plays an important role in this transformation process to […]

In the maritime industry, sustainable materials and production techniques are coming to the forefront in line with global carbon emission reduction targets. Instead of traditional glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP), Natural Fibre Reinforced Polymers (NFRP) reinforced with natural fibres such as flax, hemp, jute and kenaf offer significant advantages in terms of both environmental and […]
The nautical industry is undergoing a significant transformation toward sustainability, and one of the most promising advancements is the adoption of advanced composite materials in boat construction. Traditionally, ships have been built using materials like steel, which, although strong, present challenges such as corrosion and significant weight. Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are emerging as an innovative […]
