Vessel propulsion refers to the methods and systems used to generate thrust and move a marine vessel through water. This encompasses various technologies and mechanisms that convert energy into movement, allowing boats, ships, and submarines to navigate. The primary types of propulsion include mechanical systems such as diesel engines, gas turbines, and steam engines, which drive propellers or water jets. Additionally, alternative propulsion methods such as sail power, where wind energy is harnessed using sails, and nuclear propulsion, commonly used in submarines, are also considered. Each propulsion system has its own advantages and limitations regarding efficiency, speed, environmental impact, and operational costs. Effective vessel propulsion is crucial for the performance, safety, and maneuverability of marine crafts.
TECO 2030, BLOM Maritime, and Samskip have united their forces and secured an ENOVA grant with an ambitious vision to transform the Samskip LNG vessel, Kvitnos. With the aim of…
