SISHIPCIS EcoProp    Green Prospects with hybrid propulsions for small vessels

To meet today´s requirements for small vessels like yachts or fishing boats, Siemens provides an extremely flexible, compact and powerful solution that has its roots in decades of proven hybrid propulsion for trains and busses.

diesel electric propuslion arrangement up to 400 kW per shaftline The challenge Cruising a Yacht along a peaceful bay with scarcely a sound and no smog pollution - that natural experience is possible with diesel- electric hybrid propulsion. Advanced technology from Siemens now allows small vessels to reap the convincing advantages of increased range, greater reliability, reduced maintenance, fewer emissions, quiter operation and simplicity of operation. Time has come to seek out cost- effective propulsion that also complies with environmental requirements: SISHIPCIS EcoProp

Our solution

With SISHIPCIS EcoProp, the ship can be operated in 4 different modes. Supported by an advanced hybrid control, you are free to choose the right propulsion mode for the right situation. For example, gliding along in calm waters without a sound or impact on the environment, and leaving nothing behind but a wake. Diesel mode: Power from propulsion diesels, driving a geared generator that charges batteries, and feeding the ship service net while propelling the vessel. Battery mode: Electrical power from batteries feeds the ship service net and propulsion load for absolute silent and zero-emission boat operastion while anchoring, harbor docking, maneuvering or cruising at low speed. Electro mode: Power from harbor generator charging batteries, supplying the ship service net and propulsion motors for cruising with totally silent, zero-emission operation Hybrid mode: Propulsion diesels driving the vessel with additional power from geared motors (PTI), which receive electrical power from vessel service generator for maximum speed
