Bubble Technology Bursts Into Action

摘要

New system can reduce emissions and fuel usage. The imminent delivery or a bulk carrier to an American customer represents a significant step forward for a marine technology that promises fuel savings and emissions reductions. The 237 × 40 m vessel features the Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS), which reduces frictional resistance between the vessel hull and seawater using air bubbles produced at the vessel bottom using specialized blowers.
