During the last few years SMT Metals has been very active in international markets and has been successful in supplyingTriplate® to a number of shipyards worldwide. For example, shipyards in Korea, the Netherlands, France, Philippines, Germany, Finland, South America and Norway; also the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy, where several kilometers of Triplate® strip have been used in the construction of famous cruise ships.
The largest passenger ship in the world, Queen Mary 2, recently completed by Chantier de l'Atlantique in Sainte Nazaire, with an enormous aluminium superstructure, used more than 3 kilometers of Triplate® strip plus some special Triplate® profiles produced by water-jet cutting.
