Composite Technology Designed for Space Receives ABS Design Approval for Use at Sea
ABS and SpaceTech4Sea Now Move to Practical Applications of Advanced LNG Tank Technology(ATHENS) A pioneering project to adapt technology developed for use in space to maritime LNG fuel tanks has received design approval from ABS. It’s a key milestone in the SpaceTech4Sea project, which sees ABS, OceanFinance and Cimarron Composites joining forces to adapt composite technologies developed for the space industry to shipping. The project, which is supported by €1m funding from the European Union, explores whether composite technology, which is lighter and potentially more cost-effective,
