Bureau Veritas awards air lubrication system approval to GILLS PTE LTD
Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification (TIC), has been working with GILLS PTE LTD in Singapore to assess the performance of its innovative air lubrication system to improve ship efficiency and decrease fuel burn by reducing the drag of an underwater hull.
GILLS, which stands for gas injected liquid lubrication systems, deploys NACA profiles* to create self-generating micro-bubbles for ‘turbulent modulation’ which has a ‘hull-tightening’ effect (see below), reducing drag and energy requirements. The self-generating nature of micro-bubble clouds with no requirement for air-compression and additional energy requirements is one of the features of the GILLS system.
