Future-proof your newbuilds with the Silverstream® System
Safeguard your ships against future operating costs – save fuel, reduce CO2 and limit carbon tax exposure.
The Silverstream® System can be easily integrated into newbuild projects. Designed to last the lifetime of the ship, it is also complementary to other clean technologies.
To support shipowners operate more efficient, future-ready vessels, our goal is to make air lubrication a global standard for all newbuild vessels. To achieve this, we work with design houses, owners, charterers, shipyards and class societies globally, from early-stage design through to final delivery.
Complete newbuild installation in four simple steps
We work closely with leading global shipyards and owners to deliver a smooth installation in four simple steps:
Air release units are welded into the hull
Compressors and pipework are installed and connected
Control system is integrated into the bridge
System is commissioned, tested, and crew are trained by our experts
Our team is present at key installation stages for a newbuild project, ensuring smooth coordination with the build schedule. After commissioning, remote support is provided.
With more than 100 installations across newbuilds and retrofits and established partnerships with leading shipyards, our experience is unparalleled in the industry.
The Silverstream® System supports compliance with current and future regulations. Air lubrication is an IMO-recognised clean technology under the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for newbuilds.
See how we worked with DNV and Northern Lights to secure an improved EEDI rating for Northern Pioneer and Northern Pathfinder – the first air lubrication system to appear on an EEDI certificate.
Decarbonisation and regulatory compliance
The Silverstream® System supports compliance with key regulations such as EEDI, EEXI, CII, FUEL EU Maritime and the EU ETS.
We help our customers navigate an evolving regulatory landscape, delivering real emissions savings and future-proofing their fleet.

What our customers say about our performance
“Our partnership with Silverstream Technologies began in 2018 with the installation of the Silverstream® System on one of our state-of-the-art GG5G class vessels. Since then, 16 vessels have been equipped, with 10 more in progress and new projects under feasibility and preliminary energy saving assessment. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to reducing the environmental impact of shipping, and we’ve witnessed firsthand the tangible improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions reduction – for example, achieving 5-6% net savings for our GG5G RoRo fleet. Silverstream’s innovative technology is a piece more of the puzzle in helping us meet our sustainability goals, ensuring that we continue to lead the way in cleaner, more efficient maritime operations.”
Dario Bocchetti
Head of Energy Saving, R&D and Ship Design, Grimaldi Group
What our customers say about our performance
“The successful trial of the Silverstream System and the
CO2 reduction that it generates is an important step in Grimaldi Group’s aim to lead on shipping sustainability. The trials conducted with the ship in fully loaded service showed the air bubbles covering the entire hull bottom. We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with Silverstream to benefit from their technology on more of our market-leading ro-ro vessels.”
Alberto Portolano
Project Manager, AirLub Design and Integration
What our customers say about our performance
“Silverstream’s ability to deliver proven, verified GHG and fuel cost savings sets
them apart in a crowded marketplace. Our continued partnership has thrived thanks to our shared commitment to advancing
sustainability in the maritime sector. As we work towards net zero by 2050, we look forward to many more years of collaboration, driving energy
efficiency, reducing fuel consumption and cutting emissions throughout our fleet.”
