External Experts Confirm High Propulsion Efficiency of the SCHOTTEL SRP-D

[By: SCHOTTEL]

The increased performance of the SCHOTTEL RudderPropeller Dynamic SRP-D has once again been confirmed by external sources. At the request of the Dutch Damen Group, the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) carried out extensive research to demonstrate the added value of the SRP-D for Commissioning Service Operation Vessels (CSOV). While an earlier study had already demonstrated a reduced DP footprint and fuel savings, Damen’s latest research focused particularly on propulsion efficiency during thruster interactions. The results obtained show a significant increase in thrust yield as well as reduced forbidden zones with the SRP-D compared to conventional rudder propellers.
