In the world of luxury yacht building, aluminium has become an indispensable material. Dutch yacht builders are known for their craftsmanship in the design, engineering and construction of mega yachts to sailing yachts and from tenders to workboats. Euralco mainly supplies high-quality aluminium sheet material to this demanding market, where flatness, formability and scratch resistance are essential. Euralco is proud to be a reliable supplier of high-quality aluminium materials for this demanding market. View our product page here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Advantages of aluminium in shipbuilding<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

Aluminium is the ideal choice for shipbuilding applications due to its unique properties. It is lightweight, resulting in higher speed and better fuel economy. At the same time, aluminium is easy to process, durable and corrosion-resistant, which is essential for the long lifespan of (luxury) yachts. In addition, the use of aluminium offers design freedom for architects and designers, allowing designers to harness limitless creativity, enabling complex shapes and achieving a 40 percent weight reduction compared to steel. The choice for aluminium is quickly made. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Euralco has years of experience and cooperation with both large and small aluminium shipbuilders and renowned rolling mills. For aluminium yacht building, the 5083 alloy is mainly used. Through in-depth expertise, Euralco has further refined the recipe for yacht building sheet material in collaboration with rolling mills. As a result, we are one of the few suppliers able to supply mirror-flat and low-tension sheets that can be set much sharper than the standard prescribes. This results in a more accurate and superior finish and performance of (luxury) yachts as well as significantly less failure during the construction phase. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Customisation and inventory management<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our sheet material complies with European Standard 515, 573 and 485, whereby we ensure that the hardness is in the lower limit and the elongation in the upper limit of the European standard. We supply sheets from stock with 3.1 or LRS 3.2 factory certificates, so short delivery times are no problem at all. In addition, we offer the flexibility by supplying our sheet material in different material states such as H111, H116 and H321, in customer-specific thicknesses, widths and lengths. At Euralco, we do not shy away from 2.5m wide slabs of 10m long. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the supply of individual plates, Euralco also offers complete laser-cut, plasma-cut, water-cut and milled cutting packages through our network, in any desired thickness and size, so that customers can immediately get started with their hull construction projects.<\/p>\n

Unburdening the customer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

To completely unburden our customers, we supply complete hull construction kits (milled, plasma or laser cut)<\/span> including double-sided marking and 2D & 3D molding. In this way, we offer a total package of tailor-made solutions that meet the specific requirements of each yacht building project. By means of specialised software, we nest the aluminium parts extremely accurately and efficiently<\/span> in each plate. With each quotation you will receive a complete nesting report from Euralco, so that you can see in an overview which and that each part is optimally nested, how much sheet material is required and what the cutting costs per net kilogram are. Completely transparent.<\/p>\n

If desired, we are happy to expand our services by even taking care of the complete hull construction. So we supply a cutting package to weld a boat.<\/p>\n
