MEL Composites, the leading Spanish provider of materials, engineering, and technical support for the marine composites sector, is proud to announce its latest collaboration with ARESA Shipyards. Together, ARESA and MEL will build the new V2.0 version of ARESA's high-speed interceptor vessel, the Black Falcon. The new 15.2-meter-long vessel will be powered by 4 Yamaha 450 HP engines and will reach speeds exceeding 65 knots.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MEL Composites has supplied ARESA with a complete material package including machined Aircell PVC cores, quadraxial fiberglass fabrics, vinyl ester resins, vacuum consumables, and even a new vacuum pump for the infusion process. MEL also provides full technical assistance for the dry laminate assembly in the mold, the resin infusion strategy, and on-site support for the infusion of the new hull with integrated bulkheads and stringers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Founded over 60 years ago and based in Arenys de Mar, near Barcelona, ARESA Shipyard is one of the world's leading shipbuilders. ARESA has a long track record in constructing vessels from steel, aluminum, and, more recently, composite materials up to 60 meters in length. Their specialty is military, defense, and surveillance vessels, as well as ferries and other commercial boats.<\/p>\n

The V2.0 version of the Black Falcon is the continuation of the 10 V1.0 vessels built for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces. The new resin infusion process composite vessel provides higher top speed, more options for defense systems, and greater comfort for up to 17 people.<\/p>\n

MEL Composites is currently overseeing the production of the new hull, and the first sea trials for potential military clients are scheduled for late January 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

ARESA specializes in high-performance vessels for extremely demanding clients. For the new Black Falcon, we have tailored the composite materials to deliver exceptional performance and durability. The unique infusion of the hull and internal structure creates a lightweight, rigid, and robust structure that will allow the new Black Falcon V2.0 to perform thousands of hours of service without issues in the harshest possible conditions.<\/p>\n
