An eu project has concluded that shipyards could at a stroke reduce their impact on the environment and become more competitive by moving away from welding and using adhesive bonding for joining lightweight materials. The findings of the e4.6m Bondship initiative echo Design Engineering's report on the growing use of adhesives in the automotive industry to create hybrid structures (Composite Cohesion, 8 October) The initiative, led by UK shipbuilder Vosper Thornycroft, brought together 13 partners from across Europe, including Danish ferry operator Stena, the Fraunhofer Institute, the UK's University of Southampton, and Italian shipbuilder Fincatieri.
