Optimum propeller and propeller inflow considerations
- Short description
- What it includes
- Why it matters
Short description
This measure focuses on operating the ship in a way that ensures smooth water flow to the propeller. Good propeller inflow improves propulsion efficiency and reduces energy losses.
What it includes
- Avoiding operating conditions that disturb propeller inflow
- Coordinating speed, trim, and rudder use
- Monitoring propulsion performance during operation
Why it matters
Improved propeller inflow reduces fuel consumption and vibration.
