Savings with an entire system Primary benefits of the Contra Rotating Propulsion system
For the last 15 - 20 years, the majority of Offshore Support Vessels have been propelled by various types of azimuth propulsion systems. There is a common understanding in the market that when used in primary propulsion, azimuth thrusters have advantages in DP and maneuverability conditions, but are less effective in transit conditions. Recent history shows azimuth propulsion represents higher maintenance both in cost and time when compared to CP or FP propeller systems, and thereby also higher down time.
The Scana Propulsion Contra Rotating Propulsion system has been model tested with the Salt 100 – design from Salt Ship Design, which shows considerable savings compared to an azimuth propulsion system.
Simulated figures based on:
12 knots, 5.5m draught, 1.5m fwd trim (approx. 3000t deadweight) Scana CRP: Propeller Data - Model test with CRP - 3.8m Ø forward propeller and 3.4m Ø aft propeller. El. motor load factor (PB/el. motor power) 0.34 Azimuth System: CRP Azimuth.

The difference in dynamic positioning capabilities between azimuths and other systems has long been misunderstood. When compared to the Contra Rotating Propulsion system, there is actually minimal difference between each system’s capabilities.
• Two aft tunnel thrusters provide DP capability equivalent to azimuth configurations
• DnV approved ERN 99.99.99.99
Conditions for DP Plot:
Scana CRP: 1x CRP, 2x tunnel thrusters in aft ship, and 2x tunnel thrusters and 1x retractable azimuth in forward ship.
Azimuth: 2x azimuths in aft ship, and 2x tunnel thrusters and 1x retractable azimuth in forward ship.

Azimuth
CRP
• Most common solution for PSVs
• Good DP capability
• Advantages with regards to cargo tank arrangement
• Attractive investment cost
• System with high insurance claims
• Primary reason for high maintenance and off-hire
• Directional stability can be an issue
Azimuth
• Less components and lower maintenance
• Located far from shipside
• Center skeg protects shaftlines
• Fixed-pitch monoblock propellers
• Slightly less maneuverability in dynamic positioning than azimuths
• Higher investment cost

Contra Rotating Propeller
CRP SHAFT IN SHAFT THRUST BEARING PM MOTORS
Permanent Magnet Motor
• Improved propulsion efficiency due to energy recovery from rotational flow in CRP system and higher hull efficiency from a single skeg versus twin screw vessel.
• Fixed pitch propeller system with few movable parts, directly driven from the slow speed PM motors.
• The propeller is protected behind the center skeg far from the ship side, while the propeller tip is well above the baseline and further protected by a solepiece.
In collaboration with Inpower, Scana’s Permanent Magnet Motor is designed to operate the vessel from zero to full speed.
The compactness of the propulsion system enables the ship’s major benefits through:
• Installation• Operations• Service & Maintenance• Low Noise• Low Fuel Consumption
Shaft-in-Shaft
Independently driven propellers through a unique shaft-in-shaft system which complies with IMO DP2.
Bearings & Shaft Seals
Hydrostatic lubricated bearings and shaft seals according to DnV Clean Design.
