Engines The generation of power, whether to send down a shaft or an electrical cable, has been at the core of marine propulsion since the application of steam power to ships in the late 19th century. Years of refinement and fine-tuning have resulted in a large array of possible prime movers suited to many different ships in a wide variety of services. Internal Combustion Reciprocating The most common type of marine pro- pulsion prime mover is a reciprocating internal combustion engine (such as a diesel engine).

  • High-Tech Electric Propulsion
    TORQEEDO TORQEEDO High-tech electric propulsion A rigorous focus on cutting-edge technology, R&D and new production processes, as well as optimizing performance, comfort, safety and economic features, has made one German supplier a key player in electric and hybrid marine technology WORDS: DR CHRISTOPH BALLIN hen Torqeedo’s founders, Dr Christoph Ballin and Dr Friedrich WBoebel, looked at solutions for electric propulsion systems for boats in 2004, they noted that existing products did not reflect the then state of technology, with the solutions coming from low-volume, high- price manufacturing starting points. This gap in the market prompted the creation of Torqeedo, a new player in the marine industry, focusing only on high-tech propulsion, combined with industrial R&D and manufacturing, to realize competitive price points while also providing revolutionary benefits. Despite being founded less than a decade ago, Torqeedo has already gathered critical global acclaim by being first to market with key innovations. For example, the company was the first to introduce brushless motors into marine propulsion. It was also the first to introduce lithium batteries to the marine industry on a broad scale and the first to integrate them into electric outboard designs. These critical breakthroughs, and many other high-tech innovations, have made Torqeedo one of the best-known brands in the field of marine electric propulsion. Located in Starnberg, near Munich, with sales offices in the USA, the UK, France and Spain, Torqeedo offers propulsion systems from 0.5kW through to 110kW, all developed according to the same ethos – superior technology with revolutionary benefits.

  • GE Marine Gas Turbine Propulsion for Frigates
    GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates March 2018 GE’s Marine Solutions One Neumann Way MD S156 Cincinnati, Ohio USA 45215 www.ge.com/marine GE Marine Gas Turbines for Frigates Introduction The important role of a frigate is to escort and protect other high value fleet and merchant ships the world over. Frigates operate independently and possess sufficient capabilities (i.e. anti-submarine, anti-ship and anti-air) to provide missions in maritime and wartime environments. With GE being the market leader in the supply of marine propulsion gas turbines and seeing the proliferation in the demand for frigates, we wanted to know how our gas turbines and product roadmap compared to the needs of frigates. Before we could answer that question, we needed to answer the following two questions: 1. What are propulsion trends for frigates? 2. What are key attributes or requirements, and how do they translate to gas turbine propulsion characteristics? The key attributes of a frigate were taken from the July 2017 United States Navy Future Guided Missile Frigate (FFG(X)) Request for Information (RFI). It is anticipated the attributes would be common to many of the world’s frigates. Frigate Propulsion Trends and GE LM2500 Family Gas Turbine Suitability GE performed an analysis of all the frigates built since 1960 excluding certain countries such as Russia and China. Classification of a ship as a frigate is a gray area as there is blending of smaller corvettes and larger destroyers. For this analysis, we used the Wikipedia listing of frigates. All of the following ship data was obtained from public information such as Wikipedia and IHS Jane’s Fighting Ships.

  • Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels
    Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association 57 Crane Lake Dr., Suite 1 Halifax, Nova Scotia B3S 1B5 Phone: (902) 423-2378 Fax: (902) 423-2379 [email protected] 27th March, 2015 Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association Review of All-Electric and Hybrid-Electric Propulsion Technology for Small Vessels March 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Electric boats in one form or another have been around for over 100 years. The advantages of all-electric or partial-electric boats are the reductions in pollution, noise, vibration, and potentially, cost. The Nova Scotia marine community has a growing interest in the business opportunities offered by all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems. The Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association has therefore undertaken this review, which provides a snapshot of the current state of all-electric and hybrid-electric propulsion technology for small vessels – and takes a look at what developments we can expect in the near future. All-electric systems are comprised of an electric motor driven by a battery pack. Hybrid-electric systems include an internal combustion engine, generator, battery, and electric motor, typically allowing the diesel or gasoline engine to do the heavy work when needed, and charge the electric system and allow it to respond to lighter loads such as low-speed cruising or providing power for lights and electronics, and other “hotel” loads. There are many technical challenges associated with the proper design and engineering of all- electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems, both in terms of current technical limitations such as battery life, charge rate, size, and weight and the larger issue of integrating and controlling the added complexity of hybrid systems and obtaining components that are properly designed and certified for use in a marine environment.

  • Study of Water Jet Propulsion System Design for Fast Patrol Boat (Fpb-60)
    STUDY OF WATER JET PROPULSION SYSTEM DESIGN FOR FAST PATROL BOAT (FPB-60) Arica Dwi SUSANTO, U.B. PRIHANTO, AHMADI, Okol S SUHARYO, Adi BANDONO* *Indonesian Naval Technology College, STTAL, Bumimoro-Morokrembangan, Surabaya 60187, Indonesia FPB-60 is a type of patrol boat built by shipyard in Indonesia to strengthen the needs of water territorial. However, the 20 years age caused a decrease in performance of the vessel. The method used was the harvard guldammer method to calculate water jet system parameters at a maximum velocity of 35 knots such as inlet diameter and nossel diameter, pump power, pump type used and other parameters to obtain Overall Propulsive Coefficient at that speed. In the calculation of water jet propulsion system design, the amount of capacity generated water jet pump system obtained was 4.15 m3 / s with flow velocity on the nozzle/jet of 28.8 m/s. Based on the value of specific swabs of suction (Nss) of 6205.49, the pump for the water jet propulsion system had considered fulfilled the cavitation limit requirement so that it could be used for (FPB-60).
