German propulsion producer SCHOTTEL has actually been granted an agreement to give azimuth thrusters for a Chinese river cruise ship vessel. The freshly developed ship, had by Changjiang Cruise Overseas Travel and also developed by China Merchants Heavy Industry (Jiangsu), will certainly be geared up with 3 SCHOTTEL Twin Propeller systems. The CSC layout vessel is meant for procedure on the Yangtze River, the biggest river in China.
The vessel will certainly be powered by modern-day electrical motors driving 3 twin prop systems kind STP 310 with an input power of 1,000 kW each and also a prop size of 2.00 m.
The 150 m long and also 23 m broad vessel will certainly get to an operating cruise ship rate of 14 knots. It will certainly fit 600 visitors offered by 150 worldwide team participants.

The brand-new vessel is set up to go into procedure in September 2021.
Low sound and also resonance degrees
SCHOTTEL Twin Propellers are perfect for running a vessel silently and also for applications with minimal setup room, draft or prop clearance. By sharing the tons in between 2 props revolving right into very same instructions and also of the very same size, the danger of cavitation is decreased and also pointer clearance is raised.
Both of these features, consequently, result in reduced sound and also resonance degrees. This principle additionally enhances the performance of the propulsion system and also decreases gas usage contrasted to solitary prop systems.
Longest river in China
The Yangtze River is the lengthiest river in China and also the 3rd lengthiest river worldwide after the Nile River in Africa and also the Amazon River inSouth America At 6,397 kilometres in size, it goes across the districts of Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and also Jiangsu while additionally passing through the city of Shanghai from west to eastern prior to moving right into the East China Sea.
