Short description
Propeller upgrades improve how thrust is generated and reduce energy losses in the propeller wake. Different devices are used depending on vessel type and operating profile.
What it includes
- Boss cap fins to reduce hub vortex losses
- Tip winglets to improve blade efficiency
- Contra-rotating propellers to recover rotational energy
Why it matters
More efficient propellers reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
