PROPELLERS Fish Factory Ship "HARENGUS"

OF THE FUTURE

Fishing vessels operate under severe conditions and demand therefore equipment of the utmost reliability. The robust design of the Escher Wyss CP propeller has proven its suitability and superiority for this hard service. Several large fishing companies have specified Escher Wyss for all their new vessels in recent decades and each fleet has now more than 20 Escher Wyss propellers in operation.

To date 218 Escher Wyss controllable pitch propellers are in service or under construction for large fishing craft. All 14 fish factory ships ordered in 1970/71 from several German fishing companies at shipyards in Bremerhaven and Hamburg will be equipped with

Escher Wyss propellers. About 20 other trawler propellers are presently under construction for owners in France, Iceland, Japan and the United Kingdom.

The modern workshops of Escher Wyss have a world-wide reputation for building hydraulic and thermodynamic machinery. Some 1000 controllable pitch propellers have so far been delivered. A long history of CP propeller development, combined with modern engineering methods ensure top reliability at lowest maintenance cost.

Within the last 4 years. Escher Wyss has received orders for more than 50 CP propellers from shipowners in Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States of America and

Brazil for propulsion powers exceeding 15000 HP. Our delivery programme also includes bow thrusters. Units of up to 1800 HP are now in operation.
