In their latest video of the 'Bering Exclusive' series, Bering Yachts founder Alexei Mikhailov and the team explain the use of different materials in their range of superyachts. Alexei states that using steel for the ships hull ensures a level of strength, durability, impact resistance, and fire resistance, which is unmatched by aluminum and fiberglass. Another benefit of steel is that it can be recycled which leads to a more sustainable process.
For the superstructure of the ship, which doesn't require the same level of strength as the hull, aluminum is used which helps reduce weight and improves efficiency. Alexei exclaims that "It is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each material and the particularities of its use".
