Discover how integrating the Silverstream^® System from the concept stage of Grimaldi’s Grande Shanghai enabled an air lubrication system optimised for maximum efficiency, performance, and long-term fuel savings.

Silverstream has surpassed 160 vessel installations of its market-leading air lubrication technology, marking a significant milestone in the adoption of Energy Efficiency Technologies (EETs) across the global maritime industry.This achievement follows the delivery of Grimaldi Group’s latest Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs), the Grande Oriente in June, followed by the delivery of Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s PCTC Arctic Tern in July this year, bringing the total number of vessels operating with the Silverstream® System up to 164 globally.This growth in the number of installations reflects the shipping industry’s commitment to air lubrication, as an independently verified technology that delivers immediate fuel and emissions reductions.Since its first commercial deployment, the Silverstream® System has been adopted across a diverse range of vessel segments, including cruise ships, container vessels, LNG carriers, Ro-Ro/ RoPax vessels and PCTCs, demonstrating the scalability and versatility of air lubrication technology across the global fleet.Reflecting on this significant milestone for the company, Noah Silberschmidt, Founder and CEO of Silverstream, said: “Reaching more than 160 vessels on the water is a significant achievement and I am grateful to our customers, colleagues and partners who have played a huge role in this success.”“Shipowners increasingly look for solutions that can provide a hedge…

In this video, we’re stepping aboard the Grimaldi Group’s Grande Shanghai -an advanced 9,000 CEU ammonia-ready Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) built by China Merchants Heavy Industries. We take a look at how Silverstream continues to work alongside operators and crews long after installation.
