Precision performance

Controllable pitch propellers are used wherever maximum thrust and manoeuvrability at changing speeds and loads are needed. The adjustability of the propeller blades makes them particularly suitable for vessels that have to fulfil a wide-ranging operational profile. The propellers are designed according to the customer’s individual requirements using state-of-the-art calculation methods such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Operators thus benefit from a high degree of efficiency with lower fuel and operating costs. SCHOTTEL ControllablePropellers are available in 4- and 5-blade versions with optional full-feathering function.

The new SRP-D

With the new SRP-D ("Dynamic"), SCHOTTEL is launching a rudder propeller that even better meets the increased requirements for the efficient operation of W2W vessels. Based on the proven principle of the rudder propeller, an economical yet powerful solution has been developed that greatly improves the positional accuracy of the vessel in DP operation. Operators benefit from the significant increase in performance and thus possible operating times in close proximity to offshore structures, especially in demanding weather conditions.
