New propulsor designs target speed and manoeuvrability

Some are still on the drawing board, but a range of new propulsor designs are expanding speed and manoeuvrability limits for high speed vessels, says Wendy Laursen.

Masson Marine has developed a propeller-pump for improved propeller efficiency that consists of a stator assembly, specific nozzle and rotor
