Air Lubrication

Service Description

Enhancing Efficiency Below the Waterline Air lubrication technology is gaining traction in commercial shipping as an innovative approach to reducing hull resistance and improving fuel efficiency. The core concept involves injecting compressed air beneath the vessel’s hull, creating a layer of air or microbubbles that minimizes direct contact between the ship’s surface and the surrounding water. This reduction in skin friction results in lower hydrodynamic drag, which in turn leads to decreased fuel consumption and emissions.
