Silverstream Technologies: Revolutionizing the Shipping Industry with Air Lubrication Technology
Silverstream Technologies is a leading innovator in the shipping industry, having developed and pioneered the Silverstream® System, which is a revolutionary air lubrication technology that has transformed the way ships operate. The company's mission is to reduce fuel consumption and emissions while improving operational efficiency for ship owners and operators worldwide.
The Silverstream® System works by injecting tiny bubbles of air beneath a ship's hull, creating an air layer that reduces friction between the hull and water. This results in significant fuel savings of up to 8%, as well as reduced emissions of CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter. The system can be retrofitted to existing vessels or installed on new builds.
Silverstream Technologies was founded in 2010 by Noah Silberschmidt and Dr. Stephen Gumpel with a vision to create sustainable solutions for the shipping industry. Since then, they have grown into a global company with offices in London, Singapore, Shanghai, Athens, and New York.
