“ When you utilize hundreds of thousands of square metres of insulation , it really makes a difference if you use a light product or not . With a lighter vessel , you can reduce fuel consumption significantly – thus bringing down the ship ’ s carbon footprint ,” he says .
EYE ON CARBON
Carbon is reduced also during the logistics phase – as trucks make their deliveries at the yards , ULTIMATE makes for a lighter load . Also , one truck can deliver 50 – 75 % more of ULTIMATE than traditional stonewool .
“ Lightness of the product is also for the benefit of the shipyard installing teams : ULTIMATE is a joy to work with , allowing faster installation pace .”
In addition , ULTIMATE products have excellent sound absorption properties .
“ With ULTIMATE , there is no need anymore for high density products to achieve high performance in sound reduction ,” says Miettinen . n
