Inspired by the wonder of evolution we take a biomimetic approach in developing the world’s most sustainable marine propulsion technology. On the journey towards changing the prerequisites for global shipping, the technology will be made available for a selected range of maritime applications.
Inspired by the wonder of evolution, we develop the most efficient propulsors ever seen.
A large container vessel can carry more than 6000 tons of fuel and consumes typically 200 tons per day while cruising.
Dolphin flukes easily exceed a hydrodynamic efficiency of 92% where propellers only reach 40% - 70%.
Marine mammals and fish use hearing as their primary sense and are highly dependent upon sound for navigation, communication, finding food, reproduction and hazard detection.
Since 1950, human activities have rapidly expanded across the oceans. This, unfortunately, led to an increase of the underwater, low-frequency noise at a rate of 3.3 dB per decade.
Dolprop's bio-inspired flukes are able to operate at exceptionally low rpm, with no cavitation.
We see a strong commitment from people deeply affected by damage on marine life caused by propellers.
Search And Rescue (SAR) professionals show great interest in the technology. Injuring people in the water is a considerable risk during SAR-operations.
While propeller blades are rigid and sharp, the dolphin flukes are flexible with soft edges.
One could say thatnature developed its own propulsion technology with safety in mind.
Fluke technology eliminates injuries to animals and humans, and is resistent in case of unintended contact with foreign objects.
We at Dolprop Industries AB are passionate about creating innovative solutions that make an positive impact not just for today, but for our future.
