Propeller repair, new design & CFD hydrodynamic simulations for Shipyards and Workshops

Shipyards often excel in construction but lack in-house capacity for propeller design or CFD hydrodynamic simulations. At VICUSdt, we fill that gap by providing cutting-edge engineering support to ensure propulsion systems perform flawlessly from the very first sea trial. Whether for new builds or retrofits, our experts deliver custom propeller designs adapted to wake flow, fouling conditions, and specific operational profiles. By combining CFD tools with decades of hydrodynamic expertise, we help shipyards predict vessel performance, optimize propulsion efficiency, and avoid costly delays or rework. This partnership allows shipyards to focus on construction excellence while relying on VICUSdt for propulsion innovation.

Propeller Design Services for New build shipyard, repair yard or mechanical workshop

We collaborate with shipyards around the world on their projects, from the powering prediction on conceptual phase of development to sea trials. We advise on the choice of propulsion configuration and propulsion system sizing to avoid problems, speed, fuel consumption, tow pull or vibrations.

For new build shipyards, we provide turnkey propeller design packages that eliminate trial-and-error during commissioning. For repair yards and workshops, we support with propeller retrofit services, ensuring replacements or upgrades are perfectly matched to vessel performance goals. By using CFD to simulate thrust, torque, and cavitation, we help shipyards minimize risk and deliver ships that meet efficiency and environmental expectations from the start.
