Innovation marks a year of firsts for new propulsion systems
Conventional propeller drive is still the go to propulsion system for the vast majority of ships in service and on order, but podded propulsion systems and thrusters in all their various guises continue to carve out niche markets for vessels where a high degree of manoeuvrability or dynamic positioning is called for.
