Efficient by Nature - Sustainable by Design - It's in our DNA

The issue of competition between airports is often addressed without considering the end-to-end passenger experience, and more specifically ground access. In line with the phenomenon of metropolisation, air traffic flows have tended to concentrate on the major airports, to the detriment of medium-sized cities and regional airports. Access times to airports have become longer, to the detriment of the quality of service offered to passengers: loss of comfort, longer journey times, increased travel budgets, increased CO2 emissions. An airport that is closer to its customers greatly simplifies their lives.

Silverstream, in collaboration with Shipyard MEYER WERFT GmbH & Co. KG, will install its air lubrication technology on a new Excel-class Carnival Cruise Line ship. The vessel, which will be delivered in 2027, is a sister ship to the Carnival Jubilee – which already has the Silverstream® System installed.    In the Autumn of 2022, Carnival signed a major fleet deal with Silverstream to install the Silverstream® System across its cruise brands; a clear recognition of the value and return on investment the technology offers.   The Silverstream® System enables cruise owners and operators to meet customer, regulatory, and wider societal demands for improved environmental performance. It creates a uniform carpet of microbubbles that coats the full flat bottom of a vessel, reducing friction between the hull and the water. As a result, average net fuel consumption and GHG emissions are decreased by 5-10%, helping shipowners save fuel, lower emissions and reduce costs.   Air Lubrication is well suited to cruise vessels and supports the industry’s focus on ‘Sustainable Cruising’. The Silverstream® System is easy to install on newbuilds or retrofitted to existing ships, with minimal disruption to normal operations.   Click the link below to our live vessel tracker to see the cruise fleet operating worldwide with the Silverstream® System fitted.   https://lnkd.in/eYBSBzia   #shipsandshipping #cruise #ALS #airlubrication

In a recent event during the 37th America's Cup Barcelona, an electrical fire onboard the INEOS Britannia AC40 'Athena' highlighted the risks associated with lithium-ion battery technology. Despite the quick response from the team's on-water safety team, the incident underscores the importance of safety and awareness when handling such advanced technologies. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential hazards lithium-ion batteries pose, not just in everyday devices but also in high-performance sports settings. Lithium-ion batteries are integral to modern technology, offering high energy density and long life. However, their susceptibility to overheating can lead to fires, posing significant risks. The incident with 'Athena' demonstrates the critical need for rigorous safety protocols, emergency preparedness, and the importance of ongoing research into safer battery technologies. As fire safety professionals it is important that we advocate for increased awareness and improved safety measures. Let's work together to enhance the safety of lithium-ion battery technology, ensuring the well-being of individuals and the protection of assets. References: America's Cup Event Authority. (2024).
