Propellers



The introduction of the submerged screw propeller revolutionized maritime transit by utilizing a rotating foil shape to create a pressure differential – a principle known as Bernoulli’s principle – which generates forward thrust. This innovation not only allowed for more compact and efficient engine integration but also protected the propulsion mechanism beneath the waterline.

Today, the propeller remains the primary means of moving vessels across the globe, serving the essential purpose of converting the rotational energy of an engine into the propulsive force required to overcome fluid resistance, thereby enabling the vast logistical and commercial reach of modern international shipping.
