As part of the EU Green Week Partner Events, this webinar will give insights into the development of the surface structure and test results. We will demonstrate how the size, geometry, and chemical properties of the surface structure play a crucial role in creating air lubrication.
Depending on the type of ship used for transportation, more than 50 % of the energy required for propulsion – which is approximately 70% of the total fuel usage – is used to overcome frictional resistance. This resistance occurs due to the friction between the ship hull and water. A reduction of this resistance offers the possibility of a substantial decrease in fuel consumption and subsequently the emission of greenhouse gases.
