Introducing the Clean Marine Air Lubrication System (ALS)

Improve your CII rating and reduce fuel usage by 5-8%.

The Clean Marine ALS combines proprietary design and engineering with well-established air lubrication principles to deliver tangible efficiencies in maritime operations. As regulatory pressures mount to reduce the environmental impact of shipping, Clean Marine’s ALS offers a practical, effective solution for forward-thinking companies.

How does it work?

Utilising advanced air lubrication technology, the ALS creates a thin layer of air beneath the hull in a proprietary configuration. This layer dramatically reduces the frictional drag by replacing water, a denser medium, with air. The result is a substantial reduction in fuel consumption, leading to decreased operational costs and a significant lowering of greenhouse gas emissions. 

The Clean Marine ALS has been installed on six of Navig8’s newbuild MR vessels delivered in 2024, the Navig8 Excel, Navig8 Exceed, Navig8 Excellence, Navig8 Estelle, Navig8 Executive and Navig8 Express.

Product Features

Five reasons to choose the Clean Marine ALS.

Fast installation can be achieved in just 7-10 days, minimising downtime for your crew and vessel.

Flow is automatically adjusted per the vessel draft to reduce friction and optimise fuel savings.

Custom onboard operating software is installed in the vessel bridge for easy access by the crew.

The data feed is transmitted to land in realtime, enabling onshore monitoring of vessel performance.

Will not restrict or the vessel’s normal operational profile and can work in all sea and weather conditions.

Software

Advanced Adaptive On-Board Operating System

The ALS control system for the crew is managed from the vessel bridge. This software is designed to dynamically adjust to a vessel’s operating conditions—such as wind, current, and draught—to optimise the system’s effectiveness and maximise energy savings.

 

Owner Benefits Package

All clients receive a comprehensive warranty and servicing package to maintain peak performance and extend the lifespan of your system.

1-Year Warranty

We offer a comprehensive 12-month warranty on all ALS during which time customers can expect timely assistance, efficient troubleshooting, and if necessary, the replacement or repair of their system at no additional cost. 

Annual Servicing

Every year our experienced technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your system, checking for any signs of wear, potential issues, or adjustments needed. They will also perform routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning and lubricating components. 

Team Support

With decades of seafaring and systems maintenance experience, our specialist team provide reliable, round-the-clock support via our dedicated customer care phone line, so help is always just a phone call away.
