Green shipbuilding reaches cruise speed with the help of Amorim Cork Composites primary decking materials. Innovative and sustainable cork-based interior primary back solutions which ensures that ships comply with safety standards while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.

The key factor in ensuring a negative carbon footprint is the genesis of the cork oak forest which is a carbon sink, responsible for retaining 73 tons of CO2 per ton of cork used for a typical application this corresponds to 2,7 kilotons of CO2 retention. 

Exterior Primary Decking

ACM30 is a cork composite, a material specially formulated to be used as an exterior primary deck covering for leveling and fairing with additional features.

Due to the materials composition it significantly benefits weight reduction, being 2 to 5 times lighter than available primary decking’s therefore improving vessel performance and rating and consequently energy savings. It also serves as a structural damping soundproofing and thermal insulation barrier of the deck. IMO/MED Certified with fire standards.

Cork technology is making an important contribution to a cleaner, greener shipping industry, with IMO compliance. Because their main constituent is cork, a 100% natural, reusable and recyclable material, our range stands out as a particularly valuable solution for sustainable deck construction complying with the industry’s safety standards.

Amorim Cork Composites primary deckings has the IMO/MED Wheelmark certification that guarantees the ongoing commitment to product quality and safety to customers for sea-going yachts, offshore and passenger vessels including cruise ships
