Armada Technologies

Armada Technologies is a maritime technology company focused on developing passive air lubrication systems (PALS) to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions for commercial vessels.

Founded by naval architect Alex Routledge, the company is part of the EcoOne Marine Technologies Group and collaborates with Ecochlor, Inc. The flagship product, PALS, is a patented system that utilizes a venturi mechanism to create a bubble layer for hull lubrication without the need for energy-consuming compressors. This innovative design allows for adaptive bubble production based on a vessel's operating conditions, ensuring optimal performance across various speeds and depths. The system is easy to install and has the potential to deliver significant fuel savings. Armada also partners with ERMA TECH GROUP to provide integrated maritime solutions, addressing challenges such as decarbonization and water treatment. The company has received recognition for its innovation and secured funding to further its mission of promoting sustainable maritime operations.
