The Concept 1 - PROMAS 2 - Rolls-Royce GAS ENGINE 3 - HSG 4 WAVE PIERCING BOW
PROMAS Integrate Rudder & Propulsion System Promas integrates the propeller, a hub cap, a rudder bulb and the rudder itself into a hydrodynamically efficient entity. Propeller and rudder are designed together as a single unit. Better load distribution on propeller. No hub vortex losses Propulsive efficiency is increased by typically 4-8%. Less fuel consumption Less environmental impact Improved low speed maneuverability. Less pressure pulse towards hull / low noise propeller and vibration. Simple and robust design. Almost as easy to install as a conventional propeller-rudder system. PROMAS LITE Retrofit Existing Vessels

HSG Hybrid Shaft Generator Shaft generator to switchboard power flow control. Engine and propeller can operate at variable speeds Stable network frequency Fixed voltage. Benefits Reduced fuel consumption Flexible operations Optimised propulsion mode selection Longer engine life and reduced maintenance Increased comfort on board Improved redundancy A Range of Operational Modes Boost mode Transit mode Parallel mode Diesel/gas electric mode
Wave Piercing Technology How does it work. 1. Maximum Waterline Length / Less Resistance Length/Breadth ratio Optimised Water entrance angle optimised Reduced shoulder 2 1 2. No Flare at bow Less speed loss In A Sea Way Less Green Sea Less Bow Impact / Slamming Straight lined Curved Wave Piercing Bow Conventional Bow
R&D 8000 Merchant Innovation Project Description of the study Systematic evaluations / benchmarking between combinations of 4 different propulsion solutions 3 different bow solutions
CFD Analysis, Simulations og Tests CFD Modelling and iterations Results from the CFD analysis indicates a difference on hull resistance of up to 8% in favour of the new bow Simulations Software used Vres TM (Vessel responses) UTC Simulator (6 deg of freedom) Verification by Model Tests Open Water Tests Resistance Tests Propulsion Tests Sea Keeping Tests Streamline Tests
Benchmarking from Model tests Speedloss in a seaway Accelerations in foreship
The Concept Summary Environship Concept - Applicable for all types of vessels Combining PROMAS - Increased propulsive efficiency and improved manoeuverability Rolls-Royce Gas Engines Improved efficiency and less emission HSG Optimal Vessel Operation Rolls-Royce Wave Piercing Technology Less resistance, speed loss and accelerations in a seaway
