New Mitsubishi Air Lubrication Technology Makes Ships More EfficientA new technology from Mitsubishi will make large ships more fuel efficient by using tiny air bubbles to reduce the friction of the ship's hull on the water. The company has completed the conceptual design of the MALS-14000CS cargo ship that will use the proprietary Mitsubishi Air Lubrication System (MALS). The conceptual design pairs MALS with other state of the art emissions reductions technology totaling an overall emissions reduction of 35%. MALS reduces friction by supplying air to the vessel's underside therefore creating a layer of tiny bubbles that allow the ship to glide with less friction between the hull and the seawater below.1
