From Peter Hansen, Project Manager at a Commercial Shipyard (Building 1200TEU Container Ships)
"We specified marine-grade glass wool for the engine rooms and crew cabins of our new 1200TEU container ships, and it’s transformed our construction efficiency. Its flexibility was a game-changer—our team could easily cut and fit it around complex pipe bends and tight engine room corners, which reduced insulation installation time by 35% compared to rigid mineral wool. The lightweight design (only 55kg/m³) also helped us cut the ship’s total weight by 1.2 tons, boosting fuel efficiency by 2.5%—a big win for our clients. Plus, it’s IMO MED-certified, so we didn’t have to worry about SOLAS compliance checks. After delivering 8 ships, not a single client has reported insulation issues—we’ll keep using it for future builds."
From Maria Garcia, Operations Director at a Global Shipping Line (50,000 DWT Bulk Carriers)
"Our bulk carriers sail through high-salt ocean areas (like the Arabian Gulf) year-round, so we need insulation that can handle extreme marine conditions. The glass wool we installed in cargo holds and crew quarters has exceeded expectations—after 2 years of non-stop operation, there’s zero mold, rust, or degradation (thanks to its ≥98% hydrophobic rate). The noise reduction in crew cabins is equally impressive: engine noise dropped from 105dB to 70dB, making it easier for sailors to rest during long voyages (and meeting MLC standards). We also noticed a 3% drop in HVAC energy use in cabins, which adds up over months at sea. For long-haul shipping, this glass wool is a reliable, low-maintenance choice."
"We use marine glass wool for refitting refrigerated cargo ships (reefers) during dry dock overhauls, and it solves two big problems: cold bridging and fire safety. When we fill gaps in the main polyurethane insulation with glass wool, it eliminates heat leakage—our clients report a 12% reduction in reefer unit energy use. Its Class A fire rating is also critical, since these ships carry food and sometimes hazardous goods—meeting IMO FTP Code requirements without adding extra weight. What’s more, it’s easy to replace 局部 sections during maintenance (no special tools needed), cutting dry dock time by a week per ship. Our clients love that it’s cost-effective too—30% cheaper than 硅酸铝棉 for the same insulation performance."
