Job Deion:Control and Automation EngineerCompany Introduction:At Silverstream, we have successfully developed and deployed a market-leading clean marine technology solution over the last ten years. Our Air Lubrication System (ALS) fundamentally changes the interaction between water and a vessel’s hull, creating a carpet of microbubbles that coats the flat bottom of a vessel. As a result, frictional resistance is reduced – dramatically improving a vessel’s fuel consumption and associated emissions.After successfully deploying the ALS system on several ships, the company is now seeing a significant increase in activity as more ship owners round the world adopt the system on their vessels.
