The international course ‘Marine Propulsion’, consisting of five modules, offers the global marine industry the opportunity to gain knowledge on matching ship propulsion components and systems. In 2007, the training was extended by a separate and popular module about electrical propulsion techniques. The first training takes place on 18 September.

Marine Propulsion
The course allows marine professionals to understand the specific characteristics of ships, engines, transmission systems and propulsors, and what to look for when they have to be matched. It is of interest to designers, engineers and sales engineers working with engine transmission and propulsor manufacturers and representatives, shipyards, navies, design offices, and ship owners.

This course is a joint initiative of Wärtsilä Propulsion Netherlands, Bakker Sliedrecht Electro Industrie, Delft University of Technology and Holland Marine Equipment Association. The five workshop modules deal with:
– Propulsion Plant Concepts and Basic Ship Hydrodynamics (18-19 September)
– Marine Propulsors: Characteristics (9-10 October)
– Diesel Engines and Gas Turbines: Characteristics (30-31 October)
– Electrical Drives: Characteristics (20-21 November)
– Matching Propulsion Engine and Propulsor (11-12 December)

The course ‘Marine Propulsion’ takes place in Zoetermeer, the Netherlands. Professor Hans Klein Woud (Delft University of Technology), professor Douwe Stapersma (Royal Netherlands Naval College), ir. Paul Bracké (Bakker Sliedrecht Electro Industrie BV), and ir. Teus van Beek (Wärtsilä Propulsion Netherlands BV) guide you through the characteristics and matching aspects of marine propulsion systems.

Because of its international setting, the course also offers an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues, shipyards, clients and/or suppliers. Enrolment for each individual module is possible.
