This paper discusses brake horsepower (BHP) and propulsor RPM relationsships for vessel speed requirements based on the hydrodynamic characteristics of three types of propulsors: submerged propellers, surface propellers and waterjets. An example of predicted vessel performance regarding speed,power and propulsor RPM is presented which includes engine characteristics and BHP versus RPM. This latter format depicts the difference in power demand for three types of propulsors on a monohull vessel with regard to engine characteristics
