High Efficiency Propulsion System for ships (HEPS) - Phase 3
A project to develop a High Efficiency Propulsion System for ships which aims to reduce fuel consumption by around 8%.
- High Efficiency Propulsion Systems (HEPS) are an effective way to improve fuel efficiency
- This two year project aimed to develop a commercially-viable system that could be retrofitted to a variety of vessel types
- The HEPS technology delivered a fuel efficiency benefit of greater than 8% on most vessels
The ETI partnered with Teignbridge Propellers International Limited (TPIL) to develop a High Efficiency Propulsion System for ships which aimed to reduce fuel consumption by around 8%.
The two year project aimed to develop a commercially-viable system that can be retrofitted to a variety of vessel types.
Based in Newton Abbot, Devon, Teignbridge is the largest propeller and stern gear producer of its kind in Europe.
