While decisions on future fuels are probably taking up much of the bandwidth of shipowners, there is also an understanding that energy efficient technologies will help to alleviate operators’ expenses. Bunkerspot speaks with Silverstream Technologies’ Founder and CEO, Noah Silberschmidt, about the role the company’s air lubrication technology will play in the shipping industry’s decarbonisation transition.
Vessel owners and operators are well aware they cannot afford to wait when it comes to charting their decarbonisation path, but the multitude of challenges they are facing remains daunting. While decisions on future fuels are probably taking up most of their bandwidth, there is also an understanding that energy efficient technologies will play a vital role in mitigating operating expenses. Among these is Silverstream Technologies’ Silverstream System air lubrication solution.
‘We are happy to say we are fuel agnostic. It doesn’t matter what fuel you’re using, we’re saving a very important percentage,’ says Noah Silberschmidt, Founder and CEO of Silverstream Technologies. ‘We work well together with other energy efficiency technologies.’
