The yard Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft used the high-performance material ULTIMATE® made by ISOVER for the building of the ferry boat “Loch Seaforth” for the Scottish company Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL).

The Gunung Dempo is the 24th ship MEYER WEFT is building for Indonesia. The 14,200-gt passenger vessel has a length overall of 146.8 m and is 23.40 m wide. The newbuilding is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and at the same time with solid, resilient technical systems. Upon completion, the Gunung Dempo will carry passengers as well as containers.

Both ships were insulated with different ISOVER products, which allowed a weight reduction of more than 25 tons. The operating costs of the ship will be lower as planned during the whole lifetime of about 25 or 30 years. The good logistics of ISOVER, which means the availability of ULTIMATE^® products, was also much appreciated on the construction site.

The Clipper Hebe was launched from the Papenberg yard in August 2007. The tanks and cooling systems have been designed to allow the ship to be versatile enough to carry a variety of other chemicals including vinyl chloride monomer, ammonia or propylene oxide. Following the successful delivery of the Clipper Hebe, the second ship in the series occurred in November 2007. A further two tankers followed in May and November 2008.

With a length of 293 m, this container ship was insulated with ULTIMATE® rolls, which were on a logistical point of view more efficient for the contractor.

The client needed a light weight solution, and additionally a high fire protection in steel and aluminium. ISOVER enabled a high reduction of weight and the decrease of operating costs.
