Learn more about Silverstream’s vision and mission to support shipping’s sustainability mission

The Silverstream System sets a standard of proven clean technology without equal in the global shipping industry.

Silverstream's system has been independently verified in-operation to deliver fuel and emissions reductions of 5-10% net depending on vessel type.

Air lubrication fundamentally changes the interaction between water and a vessel’s hull, shearing 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. As a result, frictional resistance is decreased – dramatically reducing fuel consumption and associated emissions.

The solution is highly effective, evidenced by the company's repeat orders from industry leaders including MSC, Shell, Carnival, Maersk, Grimaldi, Vale and others. The Silverstream System harnesses the power of both the air and the oceans – as well as naval engineering's most cutting-edge understanding of fluid dynamics – to deliver real, proven, measurable fuel and emissions savings for oceangoing vessels.
