The article presents the intermediate results of a study carried out to determine the prospects for reducing the metal consumption of ship repair due to the expansion of the use of fiberglass composite materials. The field of research is ship repair, in particular, repair of hulls and erection of metal vessels, and the object is fiberglass used in the repair (as a kind of armopolymers), in particular, their strength and durability. The obtained results allowed us to establish that the use of fiberglass makes it possible to reduce the metal consumption of repairing local areas of the vessel by three times or more with the virtually complete restoration of the lost characteristics and properties of a wide range of repair objects. In addition, the article describes a method for calculating the thickness of a fiberglass coating that is equivalent in strength to a metal duplicate. In conclusion, it is concluded that it is necessary to expand the research area of the applicability of fiberglass (and polymer composites in general) in the repair of ships, without limiting it only with such obvious repair objects as the hull, erection, pipage.
