Accedoo
Accedoo is the developer and producer of certified
plug-and-play composite ship doors and hatches. The advantage of
composite doors (a combination of glass fibers, resin and core) is its
relatively light weight, while the material is extremely strong.
Independent scientific research, such as from IFEU Heidelberg, shows in
detail that lighter ships have lower fuel costs. This is the reason
more often lightweight materials are being used in the (super)structure
of ships. There’s been a worldwide increase in the construction of
seagoing ships, ferries, navy ships, mega-yachts and cruise ships.
About Accedoo
Accedoo (‘access’ and ‘doors’) is a brand of VABO
Composites. VABO Composites has been active in the development and
production of high-quality composite products since 2002. Its core
values are innovation, safety, added value, cost saving and effective
use of materials.
Accedoo has its own R&D department
which is continuously focused on improving products and
processes to get the most out of composite. This year (2016) and in the
coming years investments will be made in our production factory to
automate processes by using robots and standardization. Composite is
innovation, innovation is Accedoo.

Products
Our composite ship doors and hatches are lightweight
and low-maintenance. The possibility to integrate functions is another
unique property of composites and our products. For instance,
insulation or fire retardants can be integrated into the products.
Moreover, composite products have a sleeker, more attractive finish
than steel doors and hatches.
Production
Our selection of doors and hatches consists of a
range of standard sizes and designs. We’ve invested in highly precise
aluminum moulds for the most commonly used sizes. Thanks to our modular
mould system, we can also offer non-standard sizes. Accedoo delivers
all sizes!
Veritas
Accedoo’s watertight doors and hatches are certified by
Bureau Veritas. Our own ISO 9001 from Lloyd’s Register, LRQA,
guarantees care and quality.
