The SSP
offers a maximum of flexibility of hull
and engine room design, resulting
either in extended cargo capacity at
given vessel dimensions, or reduced
vessel dimensions.

More usable aft deck space is available
due to the fact that a largescale
cooling system is not necessary. No
disturbing noises are emitted by
cooling fans etc. All auxiliary units
are located inside or on top of the SSP
Propulsor. Therefore the designer has a
greater scope for planning the aft ship.
The system is inclined to allow optimum
water flow to the propellers. The SSP
Propulsor and the design of the aft
ship are matched for optimum
hydrodynamic efficiency.
