About Us
Elegant in concept,
proven in execution.
For over a decade, Silverstream Technologies have pioneered air lubrication technologies within shipping. As clean tech leaders, we understand the relevance and importance of our solution to the IMO’s decarbonisation goals and passionately believe in the role of proven, innovative technologies in enabling a more sustainable shipping industry.
From a successful initial trial installation on the Danebrog Rederi tanker MT Amalienborg, sponsored by Shell, our technology was initially proven on cruise ship installations.
Results from these installations, which have been independently verified by third parties, including Lloyd’s Register, HSVA, the University of Southampton, Carnival and Shell, have conclusively proven that our Silverstream® System generates between net 5-10% fuel and emissions savings, depending on the vessel.
We are proud to have a strong pipeline of orders on both retrofits and newbuilds for some of the leading names in the industry. Following the success of the initial installations our system is being deployed on next generation designs for Grimaldi, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Carnival and Shell, demonstrating that our air lubrication technology is right at the heart of progressive sustainability action within shipping. To follow the very latest news about our current and ongoing installations, learn about our Case Studies.
For us, the journey doesn’t end with installation. The Silverstream® System is a truly lifecycle solution – no matter when you install it on your vessels, you will have the assurance of a technology that is going to last as long as your vessel. Our service and licensing agreement with Wärtsilä provides our customers with access to a world-leading supply and maintenance network and puts the Silverstream® System at the heart of the most advanced integrated maritime propulsion chains currently on the market.

Following the successful trial, in 2015, Noah led Silverstream to secure its first commercial order with leading cruise operator Norwegian Cruise Lines. The impressive performance of this installation, and subsequent installations, has driven orders across the maritime sector and from a variety of market verticals, including the LNG, dry bulk, tanker, cruise, ro-ro and ro-pax segments. Silverstream now has a rapidly growing orderbook and a team of 25 engineers, naval architects and innovators, as well as a global supply network.
Noah’s strategic development capabilities has enabled him to position Silverstream as one of the shipping industry’s leading clean technology providers. The company is currently involved in a variety of cutting-edge vessel design projects, with Noah working at regulatory level with the International Maritime Organisation on its Global Industry Alliance project aimed at standardising the incubation and measurement of maritime efficiency technologies.

Board of Directors
Our Purpose
Playing our part in shipping’s decarbonisation
We’ve been at the frontier of innovation for nearly a decade, and through tenacity, agility, and expert engineering we’ve developed a proven solution that is easily implementable and applicable across the market.
We’ve built a solution that’s rooted in simplicity, harnessing the fundamental laws of nature to improve efficiency and cut emissions.
Our mission now is to reduce global emissions by becoming a pivotal, long-term innovation partner for shipping companies who want to create a more sustainable and profitable future.
Sharing our experience to guide the market
The rate of change within shipping is tremendous. In just a few years, debate has shifted from decarbonisation as an “if”, to a “when”. We want to ensure that clean technologies are recognised for their central and defining role in the decarbonisation pathway.
No matter the future fuels that shipping deploys on its pathway to decarbonisation, fuel bills are certain to increase. This places proven clean technologies such as our Air Lubrication System at the heart of the strategy to improving the sustainability of shipping, marrying fuel innovation with efficiency gains to help owners and operators reduce their costs.
We understand shipping and its drivers. We understand the challenges and demands that owners and charterers face. We want to continue harnessing our experience of bringing a clean technology to commercial fruition to guide the rest of the market’s policy agenda.
We will always work with the best in the industry to ensure the adoption of our pioneering clean technology without compromising on our core values to prove our claims on efficiency savings. In doing so, we will continue to support the industry in creating a new benchmark for clean technology adoption, working with the best owners, operators and yards to make the Silverstream® System available around the world.
Working with the best to enable the decarbonisation of shipping
We believe that shipping is a progressive and vibrant market that is now embracing its sustainability challenge. We have the flexibility and supply chain excellence to support installations of our air lubrication technology on both newbuilds and retrofits, at the scale required by our customers.
Key agreements with the world’s very biggest shipyards, including Hyundai Heavy Industries and China Merchants Shipping, and with supply partners, including Wärtsilä, Atlas Copco, Houlder and more, provide us with a rigorous, expert supply chain that enables us to fulfil customer demands around the world, with the best components. Furthermore, our technology development roadmap includes initiatives with industry leaders such as Wärtsilä and Southampton University to ensure that we are always innovating and delivering the best possible solution to market.
So what does it mean?
To deliver a progressive future for shipping requires clinical focus, and for Silverstream, means always staying true to our values and what we believe in:
To tell the truth without deviation;
To work with the best without compromise;
To set the standard without equal.
