The new blueprint for composites Every breakthrough begins with a question: What if we could start again? What if composites weren’t made to be thrown away — but to live again? What if high-performance materials didn’t come with high environmental costs? What if the industry’s biggest limitation wasn’t the technology — but the refusal to rethink the blueprint? That moment is here. That material exists. That shift is happening. It’s circular. It’s scalable. It’s ready now. This isn’t an alternative. This is the future. 📍 March 4-6, Paris. 🎤 March 6, 14:00 (Agora 6, Hall 6)—Jeroen Wats on stage, shaping the conversation. The blueprint for composites has been rewritten. The only question is —who’s ready to build with it? #JECWorld2025 #DANU #FutureBuiltRight #TheNewBlueprint #CircularByDesign JEC Group

DANU: What if a material could be everything? What if a material could be everything — without the trade-offs? ✅ Lighter than traditional composites, built for performance. ✅ Smaller carbon footprint, without compromise. ✅ Endlessly reusable — performance that never expires. ✅ Zero switching costs — seamless adoption, immediate impact. ✅ Scalable. Versatile. Limitless potential. ✅ UV, humidity & moisture-resistant — because nature isn’t the enemy. ✅ Built to last. Built to adapt. Built for what’s next. This isn’t a dream. This is DANU. A material that breaks barriers instead of becoming waste. A material that delivers—on performance, sustainability, and impact. A material that changes what’s possible. The industries that move the world — marine, mobility, energy, aerospace, infrastructure — don’t need a compromise. They need a material that unlocks the next era of innovation. 📍 March 4-6, Paris. 🎤 March 6, 14:00 (Agora 6, Hall 6) — Jeroen Wats on stage, shaping the future of composites.

Remembering John Moxham (1935 – 2025) It is with profound sadness that we mark the passing of John Moxham - our Chief Designer, a pioneer of advanced hydrodynamics, and above all, a cherished friend. John was more than a brilliant naval architect. He was a force of nature - an innovator whose genius reshaped not just boats, but entire industries. From his early days in aerospace, shaping the performance of legendary aircraft like the Lightning, Hunter, Venom, and the Gnat, to pioneering the most advanced hull designs ever seen on water, he saw what others missed, created what others thought impossible, and inspired those lucky enough to work alongside him. His work was not about chasing accolades - it was about solving real-world problems with elegant, functional, and often breath-taking solutions. The RNLI E-CLASS MK1 Lifeboat. The Royal Navy Offshore Raiding Craft. Vessels that were not just feats of engineering, but vital lifelines for those who relied on them. And true to form, he was never one to stand still - his mind was always racing ahead, refining, improving, creating. In recent months, he had been fully immersed in developing a ground-breaking hull design for a Commando Insertion Craft (CIC), once again pushing the limits of what was possible. As our Chief Designer, John’s hull technology didn’t just push the boundaries of performance and sustainability - it redefined what a boat could be. Yet, for all his professional triumphs, his greatest passion was people. He designed to serve, to save, to empower. And despite his extraordinary talent, he remained the same modest, self-effacing gentleman - as respected for his humility as for his brilliance. John’s legacy is not just in the vessels he designed, but in the people he mentored, the minds he shaped, and the countless lives he touched. Those of us who had the honour of working with him knew we were in the presence of something special - not just because of what he achieved, but because of who he was. He was loved by all - from seasoned naval architects to the youngest apprentices. His stories, his wisdom, and his relentless curiosity will remain with us forever. To say he will be missed is an understatement. To say his impact will endure is a certainty. John, thank you for everything. Fair winds and following seas, dear friend. Ultimate Boats

The Ocean Doesn’t Need Another Hero. It Needs a Revolution. We romanticise the sea. We marvel at its vastness. We chase adventure across its surface. But here’s the truth: The ocean doesn’t care about our admiration. What it needs is action. What it demands is change. Because for decades, we’ve built the boats that cross it, the wind farms that rise above it, the infrastructure that protects it… with materials that never leave it. The tide is turning. The future isn’t just about performance. It’s about responsibility. At JEC World 2025, we’re not bringing another product. We’re bringing a mindset shift. This isn’t about boats. Or planes. Or wind turbines. This is about what kind of world we want to leave behind. 🌍 Join us in Paris, March 4-6 to be part of the movement, not the problem. 🎤 And don’t miss Jeroen Wats on March 6, 14:00 (Agora 6, Hall 6)—a conversation that the future depends on. #JECWorld2025 #SustainableComposites #DANU #FutureBuiltRight

🚢 From steamships to sustainability: Glasgow’s maritime legacy sails on! In 1812, Henry Bell’s Comet, the first successful commercial steamship in Europe, transformed transportation on the Clyde. Today, companies like ExoTechnologies build on this legacy by building the world’s first fully recyclable working vessel, launched in Glasgow for Police Scotland, made from DANU™ – a sustainable alternative to fibreglass 🌍 Glasgow’s shipyards are still leading the way, blending engineering innovation with sustainability to shape the future of marine industries #MarineEngineering #InnovationJourney #Glasgow850
