It could also protect boats and ships in the event of a collision with icebergs.

Shock-absorbing hull material could also prevent injuries to crew and passengers, especially in small vessels.

Accumulative effects of shocks and impacts to boaters using small vessels at high speed or in rough water have been highlighted in an updated Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) marine guidance note (MGN).

Such material is perfect for speedboats.

If you've ever watched a speedboat slamming its way across the waves, you may have thought "That can't be good for its hull" … and you'd be right. A new invention from Spain's Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), however, could help keep those boats intact.
