Abstract

The procedures of model test and performance prediction for the CRP-POD propulsion ships, are studied. At the CRP-POD system, which are highly applicable to ultra large container carriers, RPM ratio of two propellers is not fixed, unlike conventional CRP system, and hence the power of each propeller must be predicted respectively. In this paper, a CRP-POD system is designed for 10,000 TEU class ultra large container carriers, and the characteristics of the CRP-POD system are experimentally studied. Finally, based on this study, the procedure of powering performance evaluation for CRP-POD propulsion ships is suggested. However, further studies on quantitative correction of the present procedure are required.
