Drydocks World-Dubai Signs Strategic Partnership with Silverstream Technologies to Drive Maritime Decarbonisation in the Middle East

The UK has committed more than £200mn in seed funding to support the country’s green maritime technology sector, as part of the government’s latest national shipbuilding strategy.

Silverstream Technologies, the market leader in air lubrication technology for the global shipping industry, has announced the appointment of David Colson, Commercial VP, Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) to its Board of Directors.

Combination of regulatory pressure to reduce emissions and higher prices for green fuels is behind a surge of orders for air lubrication technology, now standing at more than $100m, at London-headquartered Silverstream.

We are very pleased to announce that Silverstream has achieved ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification which recognises a number of quality management principles including strong customer focus, leadership capabilities, the engagement of teams and staff, and the processes in place to ensure continual improvement.

Our Chief Technologist David Connolly gave an informative presentation at Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs)’s event held during COP26 last year, exploring the natural phenomenon behind our Silverstream^® System.
