荷兰达门船厂（Damen）宣布向船舶管理公司Amisco出售其创新的达门空气润滑系统（DACS）。由达门和代尔夫特理工大学（TU Delft）合作开发的空气润滑技术能够在船体底部形成一层薄薄的空气层，进而减小船体表面在水中受到的摩擦阻力，还能降低船舶15%的燃油消耗。据悉，达门将为Amisco的货船“Danita”号安装DACS，这将使其达到必要的船舶营运碳强度指标（CII）评级，能够在新规更严格的指标下继续在波罗的海地区运营。在验证节油效果时，达门船厂获得了国际船级社协会（IACS）和意大利船级社（RINA）的支持，进一步证实了其空气润滑技术的可靠性。

Damen Shipyards Group is pleased to announce the first sale of its innovative Damen Air Cavity System (DACS) to Amisco. DACs is an air lubrication system, borne out of a collaboration between Damen and the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). It maintains a thin layer of air over the flat bottom of a vessel’s hull, reducing resistance in the water, thereby lowering drag and friction as well as reducing the fuel consumption of the ship by 15%. Damen will retrofit the DACS system to Amisco’s cargo vessel Danita. With DACS installed to Danita, Amisco will achieve the CII rating necessary to continue operating in the Baltic Sea in the face of new, stricter emissions regulations. During the verification of the fuel saving results, Damen was supported by the IACS class society, RINA, which has further reinforced the credibility and reliability of DACS technology.
