The powerful propulsion system of vessels with double engines and double propellers is commonly used for harbor utility crafts, offshore platform supply vessels and etc.. Their shafting torsional vibration evaluation methods differ from those of one-engine vessels, so it is necessary to use appropriate methods to get scientific evaluation results of the two kinds of shafting. For vessels with double engines and double propellers, the shafting torsional vibration is calculated theoretically by specialized calculation software; a practical scheme is designed and put into use to the real ship testing. The torsional vibration test data of four sets of propulsion shafting of two ships were collected and analyzed. The preliminary results drawn from the analysis can provide references for ship shafting torsional vibration test and analysis.
