Short description
A propeller duct surrounds the propeller to improve thrust, especially at lower speeds. It is often used on vessels with high thrust demand.
What it includes
- Nozzle or duct around the propeller
- Improved thrust and flow control
- Design adapted to vessel operation
Why it matters
Improved thrust efficiency reduces fuel use for the same power.
