An MAN Diesel L27/38 propulsion package is specified for the new Danish trawler Cattleya, scheduled for delivery by Karstensens Shipyard, Denmark, in October 2012 . The new ship has an LOA of 228 ft (69.6 m) and a gross tonnage of 1,750. The propulsion system is designed to provide a maximum speed of 16 kn and to have a bollard pull of 68 tons. A 9L27/38 diesel engine rated at 3MW at 800 rpm powers a 13.8 ft (4.2 m) diameter CP propeller running in a nozzle. The design of the propeller takes into account most importantly, the vessel’s predicted operational power/speed/duration profiles. In addition, there is a bow mounted, retractable, electric powered 800 kW azimuth thruster. [More]
