Accelerating decarbonisation in bulk shipping
Silverstream is proud to partner with leading bulk owners and operators to drive fuel efficiency and emissions reduction in the wet and dry bulk sectors. Our air lubrication technology creates a microbubble layer beneath the hull that reduces resistance – boosting performance and powering the journey to net zero.
Powering bulk efficiency with air
We partner with leading players in the wet and dry bulk sector to accelerate decarbonisation. Our work with Klaveness Combination Carriers (KCC) demonstrates how air lubrication can deliver real-world impact in this critical segment. Supporting KCC’s ambition to operate one of the most carbon-efficient deep-sea fleets, the Silverstream® System is now installed on four of their CABU and CLEANBU vessels, with two more retrofits underway and three newbuilds planned.
Harnessing the power of both air and ocean – and guided by our greatest understanding of fluid dynamics – our system generates a uniform carpet of microbubbles beneath the hull. This reduces frictional resistance, enhancing fuel efficiency and lowering emissions.
Through ongoing partnerships and proven results, we are helping bulk shipping take tangible steps toward decarbonisation – delivering cleaner, more efficient operations for some of the world’s largest bulk cargo players.
