Sustainability at the heart of our expertise
Today, 90% of 20-60 meters fast boats built across the world are made of aluminium. OCEA is considered as a pioneer in the aluminium shipbuilding; enjoying a strong and reliable reputation in the professional shipbuilding sector for more than 20 years. Highly resistant, durable and non-corrosive material, aluminium is a must to design and build cost effective high speed boats with optimized propulsion systems. Moreover, this material is up to ten times 100% recyclable. While allowing high speed capacities with low fuel consumption, also meaning less pollution, boats made of aluminium are a guarantee for durability with low cost maintenance.
OCEA chose to build its vessels in aluminium to combine performance, durability, sustainability and to propose real cost effective solutions.
