Steerprop delivers reliable propulsion solutions for the world’s most demanding marine applications. Our purpose-built systems combine performance, dependability, and efficiency to keep vessels in operation while ensuring the lowest possible lifecycle costs without compromising capability.
Customer-Centric Propulsion
Founded in 2000 by propulsion specialists, Steerprop was built on the belief that ship propulsion should be designed around the operator’s mission. With deep hydrodynamic expertise and a heritage of more than 50 years in propulsion design, we create solutions that meet strict delivery schedules, cost requirements, and performance targets.
Forged in the Arctic, trusted worldwide
Based in Rauma, Finland—the birthplace of modern thruster technology—Steerprop’s reputation was forged in the Arctic. Today, one in three icebreakers worldwide relies on our azimuth propulsion systems, many of which have operated for more than 15 years without major overhauls.
Our expertise now extends across the globe. With over 900 units delivered in the past 25 years, we support offshore operations, naval and coast guard fleets, cruise and ferry operators, as well as the tugs and workboats that keep ports running.
Innovation That Sets New Standards
Our drive for optimal propulsion inspires continuous innovation. From contra-rotating propeller systems and advanced sealing solutions to ice-class tunnel thrusters without grid restrictions and ergonomic control systems—we set new benchmarks for reliability and performance.
We also invest heavily in R&D to advance efficient and sustainable marine propulsion. Alongside our in-house development, we actively participate in collaborative projects, such as for example:
- NecoProp (part of the NEcOLEAP project), Learn more
- Virtual Sea Trial, Learn more
