Why performance across the operating profile matters. Air lubrication has proven its potential to reduce hull friction and vessel power demand. But for shipowners, the more important question is not simply how much a system can save – it is what that system is likely to deliver across the speeds, draughts and operating conditions in …
The air lubrication sector has no shortage of published energy savings percentages. Too often, however, the wrong question gets asked. The issue is not necessarily that performance claims are inaccurate, but that the discussion is often framed around achieving the highest possible savings figure under a specific set of conditions. Asking for the “best performance …
