Development of Mitsubishi Marine Propeller

Due to the strong demands for energy saving and improved habitability of ships, design of propellers with higher efficiency and lower cavitation induced excitation is recognized to be most impotant, together with matching of the propeller with the given engine and ship performances. Under these circumstances, MHI developed propellers with integrated performances called MAP (Mitsubishi Advanced Propellers), together with a new stainless type propeller material called MCRS (Mitsubishi Corrosion Resistance Steel), intending not only improved performances but also reduced propeller weight.
