Abstract :The propulsion system and its components need to be thoroughly analyzed and optimized for marine vessels to operate as efficiently as possible in applications where new builds or retrofitting are performed. Gearboxes, bearings, and other transmission equipment in the component of the power transmission from ship engine, which is the primary source of propulsion for most marine vessels, to propeller cause a variety of losses. To maximize propulsive efficiency, propeller selection should be performed precisely on the basis of ship type, operation mode, and area. Propulsion efficiency, fuel consumption, robustness, reliability, emissions, vibration, cavitation, complexity and cost are investigated in both conventional propellers and cutting-edge technology in propeller systems. This study will guide academicians, experts, and sector stakeholders in determining which propeller type will be more efficient for marine vessels since propulsion efficiency is critical for the sustainability of maritime transportation.
