Shipbuilding and offshore

Shipping companies and fleet owners

The Netherlands has more than 200 shipping companies that sail under the Dutch flag. In total, they manage approximately 1,500 merchant ships.

The ships vary in size and type, but the designs in ships in the Netherlands are mainly characterized by specialization. A high-tech environment is part of the ship and at least as important, they have comfortable facilities. Each crew member has their own cabin and CARMAT provides these interior spaces with comfortable materials for floor, wall, ceiling and other interior parts such as chairs and sofas.

IMO-SOLAS

A strict regulation drawn up after the Titanic disaster in 1912 is also the most important international treaty for safety at sea. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea is intended to guarantee safety and regulations of articles.

SOLAS describes the requirements that seagoing ships must meet when it comes to materials used for construction, equipment and crew, depending on the sailing area.

CARMAT materials meet these regulations when it comes to PVC floors and upholstery fabrics for furniture, ceilings and walls.
