Lemissoler selects Kappel propellers

摘要

Designed by the Shanghai-based naval architects SDARI the latest ships will be built at New Century's New Times Shipbuilding yard with a fully optimised propulsion system, including the main engine and shaft. The propellers are the fuel efficient MAN Alpha Kappel screws: "The 6.8m, slow-running, four-bladed Kappel fixed-pitch propellers will be tailored to the SDARI-designed bulk carriers and a drivetrain powered by an MAN B&W 5S60ME-C engine, economy-rated at 8,050kW and 89r/min," says an MAN statement.
