This paper is an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the ship's hull air lubrication system in order to reduce the drag leading to fuel consumption reduction by ships. The available papers and reports were analyzed, in which records of the operation parameters of the propulsion system of ships equipped with this system were presented. These reports clearly show the advantages of using air lubrication system. On the basis of collected operating parameters of the propulsion system the authors performed analysis of operation effectiveness of the Air Lubrication System on the modern passenger ship was. The results of this analysis do not allow for a clearly positive opinion about its effectiveness. Additionally, the conditions that should be met for the system to be more effective and to significantly increase the propulsion efficiency were indicated.
本文旨在评估船舶船体空气润滑系统的有效性，以减少阻力从而降低船舶的燃油消耗。对现有论文和报告进行了分析，其中呈现了配备该系统的船舶推进系统运行参数记录。这些报告清楚地显示了使用空气润滑系统的优势。基于收集到的推进系统运行参数，作者对现代客船上空气润滑系统的运行有效性进行了分析。该分析结果无法对其有效性给出明确的肯定意见。此外，还指出了该系统要更有效并显著提高推进效率应满足的条件。
