Teignbridge Propellers International Ltd and ETI working on £3m high-efficiency propulsion technology demonstration project.


The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has commissioned Teignbridge Propellers International Limited to deliver a £3m project spanning two years in its HDV Marine efficiency programme. The principle project objective is to develop and demonstrate a High Efficiency Propulsion System (HEPS) for ships which will reduce fuel consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions by at least 8% across the representative UK fleet. Vessels


targeted by the project include bulk carriers, product tankers, ferries, container feeders and offshore service vessels, but it is anticipated that the technology will have an impact beyond this group.


Based in Newton Abbot, Devon, Teignbridge is the largest propeller and stern gear producer of its kind in Europe. The company specialises in the design and manufacture of high performance


custom designed propellers. With its end to end, propeller design and manufacturing facility (including a foundry), Teignbridge is ideally placed to carry out the project. Teignbridge produces the C-Foil propeller, a market leading performance propeller for the leisure and small commercial vessel market. The project will enable the company to take learning from this sector, develop two new proposed innovations in propeller design
