In the increasingly competitive and green-leaning passenger vessel market, maximizing propulsive efficiency is crucial. That’s why our CRP technology is designed for lifelong economy, with reduced energy consumption and emissions. Superb hydrodynamic design with minimal propulsor cavitation enables low noise and vibrations levels, both on board and underwater. CRP propulsors also offer excellent reliability and serviceability, with extended intervals between overhauls.

SP CRP

Innovative design

Unsurpassed efficiency

Power range 800–3,500 kW
Z-drive and L-drive configuration
LM-drive available (integrated vertical permanent magnet (PM) motor)
Modern electrical azimuthing
Electric motor prime mover or direct diesel drive (with certain limitations)
Steerprop technology: dual-end push-pull contra-rotating propellers

Steerprop dual-end CRP offers several benefits:

Unsurpassed efficiency due to hydrodynamic qualities of underwater body
Low vibration and cavitation
Increased fuel savings and lower emissions
Low pressure pulses and noise levels
Optimized for a wide array of operational profiles without compromising efficiency

Steerprop dual-end CRP has evolved CRP technology past the limitations of the pushing-only CRP solution. It combines the outstanding maneuverability of azimuth propulsors with the excellent efficiency of our CRP technology. The design has been tested and verified in action worldwide for decades.

SP CRP ECO

Innovative evolution

Speed and efficiency

Power range 4,500–20,000 kW
Z-drive and L-drive configuration
LM-drive available (integrated vertical permanent magnet (PM) motor)
Modern electrical azimuthing
Electric motor prime mover
Steerprop technology: push-pull contra-rotating propellers
Available with classification in any ice class
Modern, pollution-free air shaft seal technology
High mechanical efficiency with pressurized lubrication

Steerprop CRP ECO offers several benefits:

Unsurpassed efficiency due to hydrodynamic qualities of underwater body – especially at higher speeds of 20 knots
Low vibration and cavitation
Increased fuel savings and lower emissions
Low pressure pulses and noise levels
Optimized for a wide array of operational profiles without compromising efficiency

Steerprop CRP ECO combines the advanced hydrodynamic qualities that make our Steerprop CRP propulsors uniquely efficient, with the same fail-safe levels of redundancy that make all our Steerprop ARC propulsors durable and reliable. The end result is a supremely efficient, reliable high-power propulsor for applications requiring high power and high reliability.

The eco-efficient Steerprop CRP ECO product line has been expanded with the new, compact and cost-effective Steerprop CRP ECO LM propulsor with an integrated vertical permanent magnet (PM) motor.

Steerprop CRP ECO LM, with reduced lifetime costs, improved fuel efficiency and low vibration and underwater noise levels, offers benefits to shipowners, builders and designers, and to the environment as well. The compact construction facilitates installation and maintenance, and maximizes onboard comfort.
