New podded propulsive drive

摘要

Schottel-Werft Josef Becker GmbH & Co. KG and Siemens AG, Marine Engineering have developed a new propulsion system within the power range of 5 to 30 MW per unit. This propulsion system is proven to give a better efficiency than conventional propellers, and in addition improved manoeuvrability with increased safety and easier handling is achieved. The propulsion system Siemens Schottel Propulsor (SSP) is specially suitable for cruise vessels, large ferries and passenger vessels, cargo vessels like e.g. chemical tankers, ice going vessels, large offshore structures and Navy vessels.
