Kappel Fixed Pitch Propeller Retrofit

Kappel Fixed Pitch Propeller Retrofit
Crude oil carrier to save 4% fuel
105,000 DWT crude oil carrier M/T JAG LAVANYA of the Great Eastern Shipping Company (GESCO)
The Great Eastern Shipping Company of Mumbai, India will benefit
from a new innovative, fuel-saving Kappel propeller for a retrofit
upgrade of their JAG LAVANYA - a 2004-built 105,000 DWT crude
oil carrier.
Increased efficiency
Retrofit calculations on different fixed-pitch propellers evaluated for the M/T JAG
LAVANYA showed the superiority of the Kappel design. With the vessel’s speed and
operating profile, the new Kappel propeller will deliver a fuel saving of 4% together
with a reduced level of pressure impulses to hull – without adding any other, efficiencyimproving devices.
Short delivery time
The four-bladed, 6.9 metre Kappel propeller is delivered from China. As a result of the
excellent and efficient cooperation between the Mumbai shipowners, MAN Diesel &
Turbo’s India and Frederikshavn locations – and last, but not least, the Dalian Marine
Propeller (DMPC) production partner in China – an extraordinarily short delivery time
was agreed upon for matching the planned docking of the vessel in April 2014.
