POWERING STUDY TECHNIQUE APPLIED TO A PUSHER TUG GEARED-DIESEL INSTALLATION

This paper presents a rational approach to the selection of the main components of a medium-speed marine diesel installation. The technique described matches the engine, reduction gear, and propeller and determines a measure of merit for each combination. This matching calculation is based on the speed-power characteristics of the vessel's hull, essential information about the trade route, and vendors' prices. A computer program developed using this design technique is presented with the results of a pusher tugboat powering study.
