Silverstream launches Global Operations Centre in Southampton
Maritime clean technology company Silverstream Technologies has launched its new Global Operations Centre in Southampton, marking the latest milestone in its growth journey.
The new hub will enhance Silverstream’s operational capabilities and support the existing fleet. Additionally, it is equipped for further R&D on Silverstream’s Control and Monitoring System (CMS) applications. Accommodating over 40 employees, the centre also features state-of-the-art technology. Its strategic location, neighbouring Lloyd’s Register’s office, is designed to attract local talent from Southampton’s vibrant maritime business community and boost regional recruitment, Silverstream said in a statement.
Speaking on the opening of the Global Operations Centre, Noah Silberschmidt, Founder & CEO at Silverstream Technologies, said: “When we look back on our remarkable journey over the past 14 years, we are proud of what we have achieved. We have grown rapidly, thanks to our ability to scale and commercialise this technology, and this is something I am incredibly proud of.
“We also remain aware of the great opportunities that lie ahead, and our work is far from over. The decarbonisation challenge is no small feat, with real regulatory and commercial implications for ship owners and operators. Building on our track record as a leader in maritime transformation, we look forward to continuing to help our customers through this change.”
The new Global Operations Centre is ideally located near the Port of Southampton, which is a key hub for many of Silverstream’s customers including Carnival Corporation, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) and Maersk. Additionally, the Centre is close to the renowned Maritime Engineering School at the University of Southampton, a long-standing partner of Silverstream.
The Silverstream® system cuts average net fuel consumption and GHG emissions by 5-10%, helping shipowners save fuel, lower emissions and reduce costs. The system achieves this by releasing a uniform carpet of microbubbles that coats the full flat bottom of a vessel, reducing friction between the hull and the water.
