Market sectors
We provide a range of capabilities and expertise for offshore vessels and
oil and gas platforms, merchant vessels and naval surface ships, with
support provided by our global service network.
Offshore
We are active both in exploration/production and supply/service
sectors, supplying systems that range from facilitating seismic research
to keeping a rig safely in position. Our UT-Design vessels are an industry
benchmark over 650 are now in service or in build. Advanced designs
that benefit from the integration of new technologies required for
successful exploration and operation in deeper and more hostile waters.
Merchant
Equipment and systems are supplied for vessels that range from luxury
yachts and cruise ships to ferries and tugs. We continue to expand our
range of innovative and efficient cargo vessel designs, and lead the
sector in environmentally friendly LNG propulsion solutions.
naval
Our experience in naval propulsion spans over 50 years for both surface
ships and submarines. We have developed the MT30, the worlds most
powerful marine gas turbine at sea, powering the U.S. Navys monohull
Littoral Combat Ship, and also selected by Korea and the UK for future
naval programmes.

Ship design
A Rolls-Royce designed vessel is more than just a hull design. It is a
hydrodynamic, efficient vessel with diesel engines or gas turbines
Ship DeSign
and all major systems fully integrated for the best performance,
enabling vessels to be built anywhere in the world.
Offshore vessels
Rolls-Royce offers a range of ship designs for the offshore sector from
its well known UT-Design family, launched in the mid 1970s. The range
Ship DeSign
includes: platform supply vessels, anchor handling/tug/supply vessels,
multipurpose service vessels and other specialised vessels.

naval vessels
To meet the growing demand for adapted Rolls-Royce commercial
vessel designs in the global governmental market we have
Ship DeSign
established a dedicated naval ship design team based in Bristol, UK.
The team leverages the expertise of other ship design teams around
the world and is focused on the OPV and support vessel sectors
to meet the needs of Naval, Coast Guard and other government
agencies for efficient and economical to build ship designs.
Integrated propulsion systems include those powered by Bergen Logistic support vessels

effective systems solutions
Rolls-Royce has a wealth of experience in ship, propulsion
and power systems design. We have designed more than
800 offshore and merchant vessels in the last 30 years, and
many of them are now working in the worlds harshest
environments. Investment continues in the technologies
that address the need for more efficient and environmentally
sustainable power and propulsion systems.

thrusters. In an azimuth thruster the propeller rotates 360
around the vertical axis so the unit provides propulsion,
steering and positioning thrust for superior manoeuvrability.
Designs have been developed for propulsion and dynamic
positioning in response to market requirements. As a result
there is a design available to suit virtually any application.
Simple and robust construction provides high operational
reliability together with simple maintenance for low through

controllable pitch propellers, fixed pitch propellers, and the
innovative adjustable bolted propeller. Unlike other propulsor
designers we have our own hydrodynamics research centre,
equipped with two cavitation tunnels. In over 40 years of
operation the centre has tested around 1,400 propellers and
waterjet pumps to perfect and prove the design. Rolls-Royce
propellers deliver good fuel economy, low vibration and noise
levels and minimal cavitation.

Oil distribution systems
Controllable pitch propellers Kamewa CP propellers are available with three types of oil control

Waterjets
The Rolls-Royce Kamewa waterjet range is the broadest in the
business. Manufactured in aluminium and stainless steel, they are
available in powers from 50kW to above 36MW. Using the latest
design techniques unit size, weight and life-cycle costs have been
reduced. The waterjet has many advantages over the propeller
for high speed vessels. They provide higher speeds with the same
power, or substantially lower fuel consumption at a constant
speed and lower power.

life. Waterjets produce less noise and vibration than propellers.
At speeds over 20 knots it can be by as much as 50 per cent. No
reversing gearbox is required and craft can stop in a few lengths,
turn on the spot and even manoeuvre sideways.

for quick stopping. A new stainless steel steering nozzle minimises
hydrodynamic losses and noise levels while providing superior

nozzle diameters to provide a balance to the waterjet speed, and
five different impeller blade pitch angles for fine adjustment of the
rpm for optimum performance.

allowing a more streamlined form for the underwater unit for
improved efficiency. Both induction and syncronous motors
are offered. For ice-going vessels induction motors are
normally specified due to their good torque characteristics at
low speed. Rolls-Royce and GE Energy Conversion combine
their resources and expertise on the electrical, mechanical
and hydrodynamic elements of the design. The application
of Mermaid pods is not restricted to passenger vessels or ice
going ships. Underwater mountable units are available for
rigs, and Mermaid pods are also powering naval vessels.

podded propulsors
Mermaid pods offer flexibility in vessel design and machinery layout.
They combine the functions of a propulsion motor, main propeller,
rudder and stern thruster in a single unit. The integrated electric motor
drives the shaft, saving space on board and eliminates the need for
a gearbox.
The propeller is a fixed pitch high skew design for low noise and vibration.
It can be supplied as a monobloc or with separately bolted blades, that can
be simply changed in the event of damage. All seals are environmentally
friendly, with no oil release in the event of a failure.

Stabilisation and
manoeuvring
Various types of Rolls-Royce stabiliser technology can be
selected to match the vessel and its operating requirements.
Fin stabilisers are popular and suitable for a broad range of
vessels and reduce roll when underway. Tank stabilisation
and anti-heeling systems are effective at low speeds or when
stationary. The Neptune range uses a retractable fin that folds
into slots in the hull, flush with the vessels side, and is ideal
for cruise ships and larger ferries. The smaller and lightweight
Aquarius range is suitable for large yachts and smaller cruise
vessels. Fin designs have been modified and control systems
developed to provide stabilisation at rest capability for large
yachts using both Aquarius and Neptune range. Where it
is not necessary or required for the fin to retract, both the
Modular and Gemini range cater for a variety of applications
including military vessels.

Modular
The Modular range uses a simplified design configuration that offers
reduced maintenance costs. In operation, the superior hydrodynamic
profile of the fin blade remains unbroken, reducing the potential for
cavitation. The range fully satisfies military standards for noise, shock
and vibration levels where required to meet specifications.
