Maple helps engineers design propulsion systems for some of the world’s biggest ships
Ships keep the global economy moving. Whether they are ultra large crude carriers transporting oil from the Middle East, container vessels transferring manufactured goods from Asia or car carriers shifting vehicles from factories in Europe, the global maritime industry moves around 32 trillion tonne-miles of cargo every year, four times more than it did at the end of the 1960s. To deliver this dramatic increase in cargo, the industry has had to change drastically over the past few decades. Vessels have become larger and more efficient as shipping companies work strenuously to keep costs down in the face of rising and ever more volatile fuel costs. For marine engineers, that means constant pressure to refine the performance and reliability of vessels and their systems. Nowhere is that pressure felt more acutely than in the most fundamental component of any modern powered vessel: its propellers.
