PROPELLER FOR SUEZMAX
PROPELLER FOR SUEZMAX
(OP)
Hello....
Is there anyone who can help me out this...
Recently I found that two almost sister vessels, one ice class 1A and the other one common, with the same propellers..
All i know is that CLASSIFFICATION SOCIETY for ICE CLASS 1A
REQUIRES blade thikness bigger and different fitting...
So how possible it is that the weight be the same?
I dont know the material composition % but both of them are consists of Ni-Al-bronze..and weights around 37000kg...

Could the ice class ship have reduced the prop area compared to the "normal" in order to live with the same shaft and avoid other changes ?
