Becker is continuously developing propulsion components with new or better properties. One of Becker's approaches - along with Bureau Veritas - is the use of new materials such as carbon composites. Carbon fiber provides two main advantages: On the one hand, weight savings of more than 50 percent enable easier handling during transport and assembly, making this suitable for advanced naval applications focusing on light-weight structures. On the other hand, a reduction of raw material waste of 60 percent compared to forged steel helps achieve a lower carbon footprint.
