Airglide AI (formerly Shipglide Inc)

Navigating a New Era of Marine Efficiency with Airglide AI

At Airglide AI, we redefine excellence in marine technology with a vision that sets us apart.

Imagine a world where vessels effortlessly glide through the water, maximizing efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. This transformative system which minimizes friction is made possible by a layer of air bubbles, which has the capability to make vessels significantly more efficient.

Our Air Lubrication Systems are born from a rigorous process that starts in our proprietary Boundary Layer Test Laboratory (BLT Lab). Every system is meticulously calibrated and optimized, ensuring that it aligns perfectly with your vessel’s unique requirements. Our dedication to precision is unwavering.

To refine our designs, we combine physical measurements taken on the ship and modelled in our laboratory to precision design specifications to ensure accurate delivery location of the air lubrication system to the boundary layer and eliminate drag. This harmonious blend of science and technology allows us to create solutions that are not only effective but also efficient.

At the heart of our innovation is a solution that drastically reduces frictional resistance between the hull and water, resulting in a significant reduction in propulsion energy requirements. With our technology, you unlock a proven up to 10% net fuel and emissions saving, with the magnitude of benefit dependent on the vessel type.

Our commitment to a sustainable maritime future transcends the boundaries of fuel type, fitting seamlessly onto both new and existing vessels.

We are the bridge to a more environmentally conscious industry.
