The modern ship propeller and its digital twin MMG To meet greenhouse gas
The modern ship propeller and its digital twin MMG To meet greenhouse gas emission targets, all possible technological possibilities must be investigated. Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH (MMG) uses the latest digital methods to design optimally adapted propellers. Although shipping is the most efficient way of transporting goods over long distances, it faces major challenges in terms of improving the efficiency and environmental sustainability of its assets. After tightening exhaust gas standards to reduce SOx and NOx emissions, the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and the Ship Energ y Effi ciency Management Plan (SEEMP) as well as regional initiatives to promote effi cient ship operation, the industry has moved to the next phase of the IMO‘s greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy....
