Since inception in 2010, Silverstream Technologies has pioneered the commercial development of Air Lubrication (ALS) within the maritime industry. This technology reduces the impact of frictional resistance between the bottom surfaces of a ship’s hull and the water. As fuel costs increase with the introduction of green fuels, the Silverstream System will become increasingly relevant for ship owners and operators, offering a strong economic return on investment.

Following the success of the prototype solution in 2014 and consequent commercial deployments, Silverstream has experienced significant growth over the last five years. Today we have c.140 people focused purely on ALS across London, Shanghai and Southampton. We are both proud to be the industry leader and proud of our continuing contribution to supporting the maritime sector’s decarbonisation ambitions.

We recognise that we need to have stronger representation among our peer groups and governing bodies, including the International Maritime Organization and we have created a new part-time consultancy role, Head of Regulatory Affairs, which will form part of the Senior Leadership team working closely with the CEO and Chief Commercial Officer.

They will be also an active participant and commentator in leading maritime industry forums. Lobbying through Government bodies will also fall within the scope of the role.

• Possess expert knowledge of industry regulatory bodies (IMO, EU) and understand regulation development, roll out and enforcement.
• Manage multiple issues, interpret complex documents, identify value areas, and recommend advocacy positions.
