Revolutionary air lubrication aids energy and fuel savings

摘要

ClassNK's financial and technical commitment to the development of air lubrication systems to reduce maritime Green House Gas (GHG) emissions is reaping benefits for the entire maritime industry.rnThe Society's work, in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI), Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI) and others, has seen the installation of revolutionary air lubrication systems to module carriers, a coal carrier and most recently to a ferry. This was the first successful application of such technology to a 'slender' vessel.
