FRP composites are extensively used in marine and offshore applications due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, and low maintenance requirements. Typical products include boat hulls, decks, gangways, ladders, handrails, gratings, and offshore platform structures. FRP is also used for subsea pipes, buoyancy modules, and fenders. Its non-magnetic and non-sparking properties are critical for safety in sensitive operations. Unlike steel, FRP does not require frequent painting or anti-corrosion treatments, lowering maintenance costs. In offshore oil, gas, and wind energy installations, FRP ensures reliability under harsh environmental conditions, including high humidity, UV exposure, and wave impact. Its lightweight nature facilitates easier transport and installation on remote platforms or ships. With proven performance and design flexibility, FRP has become a material of choice in the global marine industry.
