Voith has developed a new marine propulsion system for installation into a special vessel used for offshore wind farm service. The Voith Radial Propeller (VRP) is rated at 5.5mW and has progressed from concept to contract in 18 months. The contract, which was signed last week with Strabag, covers the delivery of five propellers for a special vessel by February 2011.
