Recently constructed ships are equipped with high efficiency propeller for low fuel consumption and comfortable operation. Based on the torsional vibration analysis of the shaft system of the high efficiency propeller, using the propeller damping method considering the characteristics of previous propeller designs, a considerable amount of analysis errors are found to be generated. These errors are expected to increase as the development of high efficiency vibration propellers continues. In this paper, errors in torsional vibration analysis, in accordance with various propeller damping methods, are reviewed. In addition, a propeller damping method suitable for use at present is suggested by reviewing the comparison results of analysis and measurement values according to the propeller damping methods for vessels adopting the high efficiency direct-coupled propeller with 10MW class.
