1. Light hull, fast speed and remarkable energy saving effect
The hull of FRP fishing boat has smooth surface, high smoothness and low navigation resistance. The insulation of the fishery of the FRP fishing boat is thin, and the ship with the same amount of fish has a small scale, and the required propulsive power is small;
The FRP fishing boat has light hull and fast speed, which shortens the search for fishery and return time. The FRP hull is usually 20%~30% lighter than the steel ship.
2. FRP fishing boat has a long service life
The FRP material itself has the characteristics of anti-aging, corrosion resistance, non-worming and smooth surface. Steel fishing vessels are prone to rust, which is very serious in a few years. The life of small steel fishing vessels is generally 10 to 15 years; the speed of wooden vessels is also very fast, and the outer panels are replaced once in a few years. According to relevant information, the average service life of FRP ships is 1.5 to 2.0 times that of steel fishing vessels of the same scale, which is 3 to 4 times that of wooden fishing vessels.
3. FRP fishing boat maintenance costs are low
FRP fishing boats only need to clean the bottom of the ship every year, apply a layer of anti-fouling paint, and repair when partial damage is simple. The repair cost of FRP fishing vessels is much lower than that of steel and wooden boats. The annual maintenance cost of a 20-meter-long FRP fishing boat can save 30,000 to 40,000 yuan compared with steel ships. The average annual maintenance cost of a ship of 30 m or so is only one-tenth of that of steel ships.
4. Strong resistance to wind and waves
In the wind and waves, the up and down undulations of the FRP fishing boat are smaller than the steel boat, the buoyancy is good, the recovery ability is strong, and the wind resistance is relatively strong, which can be operated in the wind and waves. It has withstood the test of strong winds of level 9 or above, and was therefore praised by the fishermen as “the sea tumbler”.
5. FRP fishing boat has good preservation effect
The thermal conductivity of FRP material is only one percent of metal. The integrally formed FRP fishing boat has good sealing performance, good heat preservation, ice saving and obvious economic benefits.
6. FRP fishing boats have environmental protection effects
FRP fishing boats do not rust, do not need anti-rust paint, more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
7. Easy to shape and easy to construct
8. FRP fishing boat has high strength and collision resistance
Because FRP material has high strength, good elasticity and easy recovery after collision deformation, the anti-collision ability is obviously better than steel and wooden fishing boats. According to the shipowner, when colliding with the steel ship, the collision part of the steel ship will be recessed into a pit, and when the FRP fishing boat is collided, the parts are usually intact. Because FRP fishing boats have the advantage that a series of steel-wood fishing boats do not have, the FRP fishing vessels will inevitably produce huge economic benefits, significant environmental effects and good social effects.
