Servogear Ecoflow Propulsor CPP for Offshore Vessels

Controllable pitch propeller system for fast offshore vessels, giving higher top speed, bollard pull and towing capability, better speed retention in heavy weather and feathering for multi-screw vessels.

Description

The Servogear Ecoflow Propulsor™ is a controllable pitch propeller (CPP) system for fast offshore vessels, where speed, range and the ability to operate in rough weather are key requirements.

Key features

  • Higher top speed, higher bollard pull and superior towing capability compared with other propulsors, according to Servogear
  • Better ability to maintain speed in severe weather and under heavy loads
  • Larger range and significantly higher efficiency at off-design conditions and heavy displacements
  • Multi-screw vessels can be fitted with feathering blade position to minimise resistance, improving fuel economy in transit
  • Tailor-made solutions for each vessel

Reference

In 2009 Servogear delivered its first CPP system with four in-line installations to the 60 m high-speed multipurpose offshore vessel FOS Polaris, compared in service against the fixed-pitch sister vessel FOS Star (both 60 m, 4 x Caterpillar 3516B).

Applications

  • Fast offshore and multipurpose offshore vessels
  • Also used on high-speed workboats, fast ferries and yachts
