Silverstream Technologies
Silverstream Technologies is a clean technology company specialising in hull air lubrication. During SMM, the London-based company will showcase its patented Silverstream® system, which shears air from air release units (ARUs) in the hull to create a uniform carpet of microbubbles that coats the full flat bottom of a vessel. This helps reduce frictional drag between the hull and the water, thereby generating 5-10% net fuel and emissions savings. It is suitable for both retrofits and newbuilds. Silverstream has an order book of over 200 vessels, with 79+ systems installed today across all segments for clients including MSC, Shell, Carnival, Grimaldi, Maersk and Knutsen....
