 The lighter weight of vessels whose hulls
are built using non-metallic reduces engine
power and fuel consumption.

 Non-metals do not provide environmental benefits
alongside economic ones, as cost elements related to
production, operation, maintenance, and
decommissioning of ships are all improved.
