The use of panel materials - for example particle boards, but also lightweight construction panels with paper honeycombs cores and decks from medium density fibre board (MDF) - today is not just limited to the furniture industry any more. Fibre glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) core material is a suitable building material with various procedure technologies which are being developed and which can be adapted. By changing the processing of the GRP-sandwich panel and to suit the applications. The modular GRP-construction industry is a growing with new application coming from wide and varied industries. The application of lightweight construction technologies opens a huge energy-saving potential in the production of fast ships. Today's constructions are practicable with the considerable fuel savings that can be achieved. The Baltec shipyard in Lübeck produces high-strength sandwich ships by innovative lightweight construction. By comparison to conventionally made models with the same water lines length they are half the weight and also see as much as 50 % reduction in fuel usage.
