Propulsion and manoeuvring systems for fishing vessels
The challenge of finding fish stocks in the open ocean, securing and managing catches and transporting them to sales outlets requires a combination of speed, stability on station and quiet, low-vibration operations – capabilities all provided by the advanced propulsion and manoeuvring systems supplied by Rolls-Royce. We have a deep and long-standing pedigree in meeting the various propulsion needs demanded by fishing vessels of differing types, and can deploy a range of products and systems from which we can develop a tailored integrated hull/propulsion solution. This equipment includes:
- Controllable-pitch and fixed-pitch propellers
- Steering gear
- ‘Promas’-integrated rudder/propeller
- Automated monitoring and control systems
By working closely with our customers, we can integrate systems that give fishermen the vital properties their specific vessels need to demonstrate at sea, whether that’s the stability for crews to spend a lot of time on deck, working with the catches, or point-to-point speed and precision to find, catch and transport fish to market outlets.
