Silverstream Technologies: Air lubrication on the BBC

Last month our CEO Noah Silberschmidt spoke to the BBC about our pioneering clean technology solution, the Silverstream® System, and air lubrication is changing the way the shipping industry thinks about fuel consumption and emissions.
This clip, courtesy of the BBC, shows just some of the ways that the industry is working to profitably decarbonise.

All systems draw power during operation from the vessels generators. Vessels power consumption at sea and in port is estimated during the design stage and then generators are installed to fulfil this power requirement with an additional standby one. Retrofitting systems like Scrubbers, BWTS and this one will draw additional power. That means increased fuel consumption and emissions. We are talking about fuel savings for the main engine. What about power consumed to run the additional systems ? That too will contribute to vessel emissions? Roughly how much power do these air lube systems draw for a 8500 TEU container vessel and a VLCC?
