What pitfalls should companies look out for when incorporating eco-friendly materials? How can they overcome them?
 
Shipbuilding is a century-old industry that follows many rules and regulations. Every ship is classified and certified by a classification society. Those societies, those companies, they certify every component of a ship. This is why ship owners, shipyards and ship designers are sometimes reluctant to invest in new, innovative materials because they would have to demonstrate that this new material and this new component meet the same properties as the existing ones. To do that, they will have to go through heavy test campaigns like corrosion analysis tests or fatigue tests. However, some of those classification societies have invested in certifying new manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing, and thus, they are certifying new critical components on both ships, such as propellers, or the injection nozzles on the engine, which have already demonstrated that by being manufactured, thanks to those new processes, you are able to save significantly on carbon emissions.
