Impact tests on RAMSSES ship hull demonstrator show resilience of composites
Photo Credit: Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding Partners in the Realisation and Demonstration of Advanced Material Solutions for Sustainable and Efficient Ships (RAMSSES) project are working to demonstrate a composite ship that weighs 40% less than a steel equivalent, offering considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. Led by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS, Gorinche, Netherlands) and Damen Gorinchem (DSGo), in cooperation with InfraCore Co. (Rotterdam, Netherlands), Evonik (Essen, Germany), Airborne UK and TNO (the Netherlands Organisation for applied scientific r...
