Armada Technologies Announces Contract with CoolCo for Air Lubrication Installation

Oslo, Norway, 20 February 2024. We are pleased to announce Armada Technologies' collaboration with Cool Company Ltd (CoolCo), an LNG carrier company.

Under this partnership, Armada will design, engineer, procure, and provide support for the installation and commissioning of its air lubrication system on a CoolCo vessel scheduled to dry dock in 2024. Once commissioned, CoolCo will conduct sea trials and provide documentation to Armada, following ISO or ITTC guidance, to measure the system's performance.

Armada CEO Alex Routledge: “We are delighted to introduce our advanced passive air lubrication system (PALS) to the maritime industry through this collaboration with CoolCo. Our PALS, which utilizes tailored bubble production design for each ship's characteristics, including speed, draft and weather conditions, eliminates the need for continuously running compressors.”

CoolCo CEO Richard Tyrrell: “We are pleased to be working with Armada Technologies. We selected Armada for its system's performance potential and its minimal impact on the crew due to the absence of rotating equipment.”
