IHI Marine United Inc. (IHIMU) has developed an environmental-friendly and economically efficient diesel-electric propulsion system with CRP designated as “IHIMU-CRP Electric Propulsion System (IHIMU-CEPS)”. Several vessels with the IHIMU-CEPS have already been delivered and their significant fuel savings have been verified in sea trials. This paper presents an outline of the IHIMU-CEPS and its inherent hydrodynamic performance especially those which are manifested through the self-propulsion factors of the CRP system.
