Aluminium for the marine sector

Aluminium extrusion for the marine sector

The shipping industry has to respond to strict emissions standards, which is why it is gradually implementing electric or hybrid solutions for fleet operation.

For this reason, it is increasingly common to use lightweight materials such as aluminium for its manufacture, in order to reduce the weight of the structure, achieve more autonomy and reduce fuel consumption, by up to 20% compared to other materials.

Its mechanical properties make it a resistant material that has a low level of deterioration and that in case of applying force on a ship, its ductility hinders the appearance of fissures or leaks. In addition, being non-combustible, it provides more safety as it offers greater guarantees of protection in the event of fire.

We know your priorities

  • Simplification of the supply chain through a single supplier for a finished solution.
  • Ad-hoc and functional design that guarantees comfort and safety.
  • Possibilities of adapted finishes.
  • Profile treatments to make them resistant to corrosive marine conditions.
  • Agility in case of repairs, and that it is not necessary to move the boat to the shipyard, reducing costs.
  • Quality assurance and certifications.
  • Marine & Offshore

We provide you with solutions to create your aluminium part

As a supplier Experienced in the sector Nava offers you:

  • Human factor:
    • A technical office team made up of qualified professionals who advise and/or design the most appropriate and personalised solution.
    • Extrusion capabilities for profiles up to 15.5 meters in length that prevent or reduce welding between profiles.
    • Monitoring of internal procedures to ensure the quality and safety of the product that endorses the production processes and issues certificates, some on request, such as Marine & Offshore.
  • Production capacity:
    • Extrusion Capabilities
    • Machining processes up to 14 meters for which, if necessary.
    • Surface finishes on profiles through powder lacquering or anodising, verified and controlled during the manufacturing chain, on which specific treatments are applied, such as conversion chromatisation, to make it more resistant to external agents.
    • Additional welding service, so we streamline production processes by not outsourcing the process.
    • Bending service, referencing of parts and accessories.
    • Adapted packaging.
    • Transport services, especially to international territories, which is where this sector operates the most..

Sustainable aluminium

Today, industrial sectors such as the naval sector seek to promote an economy based on a production and consumption model in which the value of products, materials and resources lasts as long as possible, and with which the circle can be completed through recycling processes.

This leads many boat manufacturers to bet on aluminum since, having to renew their fleet in a short period of time, they can recycle the material used in them to generate new profiles, in addition to not needing to look for a clean point to dispose of it.

Likewise, aluminum has simple and low maintenance, so in marine and aggressive environments, its continuity over time is greater compared to other materials.

In addition, if surface treatments are applied to these aluminium profiles, greater protection is achieved that increases their useful life.
