en.Wedoany.com Reported - Twin Disc's Dutch marine propulsion manufacturer Veth Propulsion has launched the Streamline-CRP, a new contra-rotating podded thruster designed for passenger vessels and ferries. This product aims to address fuel consumption, noise, and vibration issues in inland and passenger vessel operations.
The thruster was officially unveiled on June 2 at the Maritime Industry exhibition in Gorinchem, Netherlands. Veth Propulsion stated that the Streamline-CRP can reduce fuel consumption by up to 7% in practical use. The system combines contra-rotating propeller technology with a redesigned gearbox using push-pull flow technology, a longer and slimmer tail section, and an optimized propeller hub cap. The design aims to reduce resistance and drag while enhancing thrust and vessel maneuverability.
The Streamline-CRP is available in three configurations: L-drive, Z-drive, and compact integrated thruster. Its standard propeller arrangement is a 4/5-blade configuration, with 5/6-blade and 6/7-blade options available for specific application tuning.
Bastiaan van Zuijlekom, Managing Director of Veth Propulsion, said that customers across the maritime industry are seeking solutions that deliver both performance and efficiency. He stated that the Streamline-CRP combines contra-rotating propeller technology with precise full-range vessel control and optimal thrust, while reducing fuel consumption, noise, and vibration.
At the Maritime Industry exhibition, visitors viewed the system through a 360-degree holographic projection and received specification sheets containing technical data.
