How air bubbles cut ship drag and boost fuel efficiency | Full Ahead Ep 14

We explore how air bubbles are being used to reduce ship drag and improve fuel efficiency in modern shipping.

We break down the science behind hull resistance — and why it matters for the future of sustainable maritime transport.

It's already working aboard Kool Husky, a 160,000 cubic meter tanker owned by CoolCo, which is currently gathering performance data at sea.
