Sandvik material makes the difference for Swedish Steel Yacht
A steel-boat prototype, the Swedish Steel Yacht, manufactured in its entirety using Sandvik's advanced stainless steel Sandvik SAF 2507™, was on display for the first time yesterday to a specially invited group of stakeholders, including representatives from the Swedish Armed Forces.
What is unique and attractive about the boat to stakeholders such as the police, armed forces, and pilotage and sea-rescue services, is that it is lighter than traditional aluminum boats, consumes half as much fuel and has major environmental benefits, while being extremely durable. The secret behind the boat's advantageous properties are directly attributable to the material used, Sandvik SAF 2507™.
