SCHOTTEL Retrofit Propeller Blades: Enhancing Efficiency and Ensuring EEXI Compliance
As new EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index) regulations take effect, ship operators are seeking solutions to enhance energy efficiency and meet compliance standards. Introduced by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) in January 2023, these regulations push for lower fuel consumption, leading many vessels to operate at reduced speeds (slow steaming).
To support this transition, SCHOTTEL has developed hydrodynamically optimized retrofit propeller blades for its SCHOTTEL ControllablePropeller (SCP). These custom-designed blades are tailored to match vessels’ revised operating profiles, utilizing advanced analysis techniques, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to maximize performance.
Up to 5% Increase in Propulsion Efficiency
By optimizing the propulsion system, the new retrofit blades can improve propulsion efficiency by up to five percent, significantly cutting fuel consumption and reducing CO2 emissions. Additionally, the blades minimize cavitation and pressure fluctuations, contributing to lower noise emissions and smoother operation.
Robust and Reliable Propulsion Systems
Known for their exceptional performance, durability, and adaptability, SCHOTTEL controllable pitch propeller (SCP) systems provide optimal propulsion for varying speeds and loads. With over 60 years of engineering expertise, SCP technology has been rigorously tested in thousands of applications, ensuring low maintenance and long service life.
Meeting IMO’s 2023 GHG Strategy
With the IMO’s 2023 GHG Strategy aiming for a 40% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 and zero emissions by 2050, shipowners must comply with EEXI efficiency standards. Non-compliant vessels must implement upgrades to maintain unrestricted operation. SCHOTTEL’s retrofit propeller blades provide a cost-effective and efficient solution to ensure compliance, making ships more sustainable and future-ready.
