Controllable pitch (CP) propellers are the ideal choice for ships with frequent port calls as they provide excellent manoeuvrability, thus saving ship time and tug costs. Wärtsilä CP propellers guarantee superior propeller efficiency, reliability and minimum noise and vibration levels due to tailor-made designs with the latest available technology.
Wärtsilä CP propellers are all of standard hub design, customized to suit the customer's needs by applying wake-adapted propeller designs and ship-construction-related shaft designs. Full power is available by automatic pitch adjustment and engine overload is avoided in all conditions.
The application of a nozzle is one of the options to increase the output of the entire propulsion system. Read more here.
