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 …
Last week, the Armada team returned onboard LNG Kool Husky to complete the system’s first in-service evaluation and continuation of testing. The results were strong, confirming that performance is tracking as expected under real operating conditions. For companies developing new maritime technologies, this stage matters. Office-based modeling and simulations are essential—but they are only part …
