The main feature of the STN Atlas Marine Electronics/Wärtsilä Propulsion Podded Propulsion System is the streamlined pod, an underwater housing in which a speed controlled synchronous motor is mounted that is directly coupled to the propeller. While the electrical part of this system, a 12-pulse or 24-pulse synchro-converter combined with a brushless 6-phase synchronous motor, is becoming increasingly ‘usual technology’ in, most of all, cruise vessels and ferries, the mechanical part of the system is more heavily focussed on by shipyards, shipowners and operators.

    The article provides a short glance at the main components of the mechanical system of the Dolphin podded propulsor, that replaces both rudder and conventional propeller shaft arrangement. With the DOLPHIN podded propulsion system, STN Atlas Marine Electronics and Wärtsilä Propulsion together have translated user requirements and feedback into a new product that improves and extends the principle of podded propulsion. This is achieved by paying special attention to efficiency, reliability, system safety, ease of installation and passenger comfort in electrical, hydrodynamical and mechanical sense.
