INSTALLATION OF A UNIQUE AIR LUBRICATION SYSTEM (DACS) ON BOARD DANITA vessel at BLRT Repair Yards

To increase #efficiency and to reduce fuel consumption, in cooperation with Damen Shipyards Group and BLRT Repair Yards` long-term partner - an Estonian-based shipping company Amisco, team BRY installs the first #dacs on 115.5 m- long cargo vessel DANITA.
The Damen Air Cavity System (DACS), is a unique air lubrication system for vessels originated from the cooperation between Damen and Delft University of Technology. Maintaining a thin layer of air all over the flat bottom of a vessel’s hull, DACS achieves a significant reduction in water resistance, leading to increased efficiency and a reduction of fuel consumption by up to 15%, leading to emissions reduction.
With DACS-equipped Danita, Amisco will achieve the CII rating necessary to continue operating in the Baltic Sea in the face of new, stricter emissions regulations. At the same time, the considerable reduction in fuel consumption allows for a rapid return on investment 🛳
Air lubrication systems are generally considered to be relatively low-maintenance compared to other efficiency-improving technologies, providing a reliable and practical solution for long-term use 👌
