What happened
Steerprop is supplying its contra-rotating propeller (CRP) technology to CRIST SA, a Polish shipyard. This technology will power a fully electric passenger ferry being built for the Estonian State Fleet. The vessel is noted as Estonia’s first fully electric passenger ferry.
Why it matters
The CRP technology improves mechanical efficiency and delivers high thrust in various conditions. Its implementation helps reduce installed power, energy use, and emissions for the Estonian State Fleet, supporting green infrastructure investment in the country.
