Get real-world, in-service fuel reductions of up to 10% with Shipglide air lubrication systems
Reduce fuel consumption | Reduce greenhouse gas emissions | Improve fleet efficiency
Air lubrication systems — which create a layer of air bubbles below the ship hull — are gaining popularity in the global maritime community for good reason: ALS can give real-world, in-service, operational fuel reductions of up to 10%.
The physical phenomena of optimizing hull resistance provided by an ALS is very case specific. We address the many complexities involved in the design of ALS. Shipglide ALS are calibrated, optimized, and verified in our proprietary, full-scale Boundary Layer Test Lab before deployment to your vessel.
Our designs are tailor-made and optimized for your specific vessels using the results of physical measurements in our BLT Lab with world-class, cutting-edge computational fluid dynamic (CFD) software. Our process allows you to see the power savings and verify Shipglide’s custom ALS design before installation.
