Improving the ship propulsion efficiency by propeller modification and optimization procedures

Decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures, which aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the upcoming years, are now more than ever in the focus of the maritime industry. Scientific researches recognise relation between the propeller shape/class, the fuel oil consumption, vibration intensity and ship’s speed, but it is still not completely analysed. Project “Improving the ship propulsion efficiency by propeller optimization” aims to research possible fuel savings, vibration and exhaust gas emissions reduction as well as other positive impacts on the ship’s propulsion system by optimizing her propeller(s). Final aim of the project is the development of the computer program for the ship's propulsion system condition diagnosis and predicting how much savings can be achieved by optimizing the propeller with respect to the desired class.
