Advertisement Clean technology company Silverstream Technologies has announced that its pioneering air lubrication system, the Silverstream ® System, has delivered significant fuel and emissions savings during testing on the Shell-chartered 170 000 m 3 LNG carrier Methane Patricia Camila. Following operational testing of the retrofitted technology, Silverstream and Shell’s engineers demonstrated 6.6% net savings generated by the Silverstream System. The technology was tested at various vessel speeds during the Methane Patricia Camila’s normal operations, to calculate fuel and emissions savings. The Silverstream System enables fuel and emissions efficiencies through its unique design. The innovative technology produces a thin layer of microbubbles along the full flat bottom of the vessel, reducing frictional resistance between the water and the hull.
