SMEC Automation has vast expertise and knowledge in propulsion systems. Container and Specialized Cargo vessels are distinctive targets for Electric Propulsion.

With electric propulsion, a common Medium Voltage power plant is shared by both propulsion and cargo handling. Since cargo unloading and propulsion are never performed together, the total amount of installed power can be decreased - typically by more than 10%.

Our Power Systems are the favoured choice if more cargo space and easy maneuvering are the main objectives, whereas our Economy systems are the answer for fuel savings on fast and long distances.

Our systems ameliorate the hydrodynamic propulsion efficiency by 10%.
