Abstract
The ZEUS (Zero Emission Ultimate Ship) project of the NMRI (National Maritime Research Institute) is very challenging and is unique from the view point of utilized technologies. This paper will introduce some innovative ideas, which are “reaction pod” and “jet-assist motor propulsion”. Reaction pod is a concept which can increase propulsive efficiency by using off-centered podded propulsors of twin skeg hull form. By putting the pods at the optimum position in the stern, a propeller can act as a contra-rotating propeller. Jet assist motor propulsion can be used for several objectives, such as prevention of flow separation, reducing stern vibration, improving course keeping ability, etc. This paper will explain these two new ideas by introducing model test data which were obtained from NMRI towing tank.
