Voith Schneider Propeller

The Voith Schneider Propeller (VSP) is a specialized marine propulsion system that allows a vessel to move smoothly and precisely in any direction. It consists of a circular platform with vertical blades that rotate around a central hub. By changing the angle of these blades as they rotate, the propeller can generate thrust in different directions without the need for traditional steering gears. This design provides exceptional maneuverability and control, making it ideal for ships operating in tight or crowded waters, such as tugboats, ferries, and icebreakers.
