Environmental impact

Concern for the environment and the health of our seas is always at the heart of MV Marine’s work, which not only focuses on advanced construction techniques but also explores new sustainable solutions. In collaboration with CNR and the Federico II University of Naples, MV Marine has developed the “Biocomp-RB” project, aimed at creating composite inflatable boats through the use of biodegradable raw materials.

Innovative materials were tested, such as natural fibers and resins made from plant substances, as well as cores made from recycled products such as Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene (PE), which are completely reusable.

The fruit of this research is the MV 620 Eco-Tech, a boat made from flax fibers and resins obtained from vegetable oils, which is still successfully sailing today, combining sustainability and performance.

MV Marine’s attention to the health of our seas and the environment is always very high. MV wants to be a green company and always aims to lower its environmental impact through key actions: 

Production hub

The construction of the new production hub was built with the highest energy-saving standards in mind. The built structure is highly insulated to reduce with absolute efficiency the consumption due to air conditioning of the rooms. Another important asset in minimizing energy consumption is provided by the construction of the new hub itself, which was built to use natural light, decreasing electricity consumption during processing. Finally, the new construction hub can rely on the contribution of a substantial solar panel system for its own energy supply.

Innovation and minimization of environmental impact are two aspects that permeate every stage of the life cycle of an MV Marine inflatable boat: not only does the boat building process allow for a reduction in harmful particles from the production processes (-95% volatile organic matter emissions, -80% cutting dust), but the low weight of our GRP fabrications and the efficiency of our hulls also allow for a significant reduction in operating consumption and CO2 emissions by 25%.

Another important contribution is made by solar panels.

MV Marine's boat building process, allows a 95 percent reduction in volatile organic compound (V.O.C.) emissions and an 80 percent reduction in cutting dust.

The low weight of our GRP fabrications and the efficiency of our hulls, allow us to significantly reduce operating consumption and CO2 emissions by 25%.
