Retrofit for efficiency
Make your existing fleet work harder – save fuel, reduce CO2 and cut carbon tax exposure now.
The Silverstream® System can be easily integrated into in-service vessels. Retrofitting projects can typically be completed in 10 days during planned dry dock periods, with the fastest retrofit completed in just 6 days. of the installation can also be carried out at sea by a travelling crew, ensuring minimal disruption to regular operations.
Watch this video to see how we retrofitted the Silverstream® System to an LNG carrier at Yiu Lian Shipyard in Shenzhen.
Complete retrofit installation in four simple steps
We work closely with leading global shipyards and owners to deliver a smooth retrofit in four simple steps. Our team supports customers from the initial design through to system handover:
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
Silverstream representatives are present throughout the retrofit installation during dry dock, and our engineers are available to advise throughout the process. After commissioning, remote support is provided.
With over 100 installations across retrofits and newbuilds, our experience is unparalleled in the industry, working with class and coordinating with major global shipyards and customers to ensure on-time delivery.
Our retrofit solution supports regulatory compliance including improving the efficiency rating of current vessels on the IMO’s Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI).

Retrofit testimonials
“Air lubrication technology for us has been the biggest efficiency gain. We’ve just deployed Silverstream’s technology on an LNG carrier and that’s delivering some pretty good returns already up to around 8%.”
