The ocean is the greatest ally in our efforts to address the climate crisis, generating 50% of the oxygen we need & absorbing 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Wednesday's #WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the urgency to #SaveOurOcean. unworldoceansday.org

β΄οΈ Maritime transport is the backbone of trade.
But #DYK it releases 9β£4β£0β£ m tonnes of #CO2 each year? Making ships more #ecofriendly is key to achieving our goals.
π©οΈ The @AIRCOATProject aims to reduce emissions by making the boats fly.

Each year, the #velocity efficiency of the #ships is reduced by 10% because of #biofouling created on the hull. AIRCOAT foil is aiming to avoid the creation of biofouling in addition to its drag reduction effect.
