Rudders are a vital piece of our vessel’s operational equipment, but what determines the best type of rudder to use? How do we ensure that the rudder and propeller function well together? Can we use analytical and CFD tools to optimize a design? Find out in our next webinar, with Don MacPherson (HydroComp) and Adrian […]

We have delivered our 100th propeller! This is a pair of propellers with a diameter 1.75m @1029kW and four blades for the freighter Gavialis owned by the Dutch shipping company Gavialis Scheepvaart BV. After collecting the required data on one of the ship´s drydocking, the new propellers were optimized for the ship´s service condition using […]

Improved Program Stability and Speed All HydroComp 2020 products have been upgraded with a new internal code-and-control set. This has increased the speed and stability of the program across existing Window’s […]

Our client, iXblue, delivered the second hybrid dive support vessel for the French Navy, VICUSdt carried out the design and supply of the propellers and nozzles. The design of the propellers and nozzles has been made by CFD, paying special attention to the efficiency at the speed of 10 knots and silent operation. The nozzle […]

The fluvial tanker MTS Belize is the first of four projects in which VICUSdt has embarked. It is also our first project with the Dolderman shipyard. The work carried out consisted in the design and manufacture of the propulsion, propellers and hull optimized by CFD tools to achieve maximum efficiency. The sea trials, carried out […]

Following with the Dettmer Tank 120, 122, 126 and 128, the successful test of the Dettmer Tank 130 was recently carried out in which we were able to design and deliver very efficient, robust and low noise propellers. From VICUSdt we have designed the ship’s propellers using CFD tools. – We calculate the resistance at […]
