Drag reduction is one of the main objectives of our project. Reducing #drag will in turn reduce the #fuelconsumption and thus #GHGemissions of #maritimetransport.

Each year, the #velocity efficiency of the #ships is reduced by 10% because of #biofouling created on the hull. AIRCOAT foil is aiming to avoid the creation of biofouling in addition to its drag reduction effect. Read more about it in our #policybrief 👉aircoat.eu/policy-brief/

AIRCOAT project conducted a study to investigate #acoustic #noiseemissions #underwater . Read our latest paper here📖aircoat.eu/resources/scie…

Today, the AIRCOAT team met for its Final Consortium Meeting in Hamburg (Germany) to prepare the final public results and to celebrate the past 4-years of the H2020 project. All our results will be published on our website very soon, stay tuned! #oceanclimateaction #shipping

Thanks to all the partners for this 4-years adventure ending today! #h2020 #eufunded #maritimetransport

#EU-funded AIRCOAT #H2020 🇪🇺 presents a new, bio-inspired coating solution for reducing #maritime #shipping #emissions! A new foil creates a passive air layer for #ship hulls making them more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. 👉europa.eu/!QVFMtX #H2020Transport

⛴️ Maritime transport is the backbone of trade. But #DYK it releases 9⃣4⃣0⃣ m tonnes of #CO2 each year? Making ships more #ecofriendly is key to achieving our goals. 🛩️ The AIRCOAT #H2020 🇪🇺 aims to reduce emissions by making the boats fly. More 👉 europa.eu/!chhVYq

While the AIRCOAT project might be over after 4 years of hard work, our website lives on! Find links to all project outputs, including reports, articles, and footage from our final event in March 2022. aircoat.eu #ShippingIndustry #OceanClimateAction

The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions. Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. unworldoceansday.org

In March 2022, we presented the culmination of 4 years of hard work at the AIRCOAT final event conference. Missed the event live? See it in full here: youtu.be/_uAqf-Tt9rM #shippingindustry #maritimesector

After the lab experiments, our team took the AIRCOAT foil out to test in real-world conditions on a research vessel in Malta. Find the results summary #factsheet and more information about the field test here: aircoat.eu/malta-field-te… #shippingindustry #maritimesector

.TRA Conference 2022 runs in Lisbon: Today #CML researcher Jonathan Weisheit presented AIRCOAT #H2020 🇪🇺 at the Invited Session “On the Way to Zero-Emission Shipping” focusing on critical issues that currently limit the application in large scale and hinder a market-ready product.
