In this special ‘on the road’ edition of Future Bound, Martin Wattum took the opportunity to visit Silverstream Technologies in London and sat down with CEO Noah Silberschmidt to dig into how Silverstream works and what the installation means for KCC’s vessels due to onboard the solution.
Host: Martin Wattum, Head of Projects and Business Transformation
Guest: Noah Silberschmidt, CEO Silverstream Technologies
Background: In April 2021 we announced KCC had concluded key strategic agreements for an energy efficiency retrofit on two of our vessels, which included the installation of an air lubrication system by Silverstream Technologies. Known as the Silverstream® System, the solution releases a carpet of microbubbles that travels the full length of the flat bottom of a vessel, reducing friction between the hull and water.
Discussion points include:
A history of air lubrication technology
What makes the Silverstream® System the most efficienct friction reduction technology on the market
How best-in-class health and safety standards are followed
Installing the Silverstream® System on newbuilds vs retrofitting
Silverstream’s role to play in a future of greener fuels
