Diesel electric machinery has become more common in newbuilding projectsin the past few years. The vessels are normally cruisers or ferries that have a high auxiliary electric power consumption. In addition vessels withhigh power demand for cargo handling, such as tankers may be suitable forelectric drive. This article will highligh some of the most important aspects concerning fixed pitch and controllable pitch propellers for diesel-electric machinery, not only from the hydrodynmaic point of view but also mechanical, such as propeller shaft arrangement and vibrations. A checklistis presented which can be useful when evaluation the economic aspects of propeller selection
