Twin-skeg afterbody can be highly beneficial on ships with full forms, especially when low draught or high beam-to-draught ratio is required. A twin-skeg design has been adopted on new tankers with redundant propulsion.

Jun 1, 2014 · SSPA experiences a growing interest in twin skeg ships as one attractive green ship solution. The twin skeg concept is well proven with obvious advantages for the design of ships with full hull forms, restricted draft or highly loaded propellers.

Mar 6, 2025 · Twin-skeg ships are well adapted to restricted inland waterways, but the multiple working conditions and the complex hull lines and surfaces of these ships make optimization difficult.

The key to design good twin skeg hull forms is the optimum selection and combination of all relevant design parameters, for instance skeg shape, skeg vertical and toe angle as well as distance between the skeg by taking advantage of the balance between pre-rotation, resistance and propulsion efficiency.

Sep 1, 2016 · In this paper, the lines optimization of the 10,000 twin-skeg container vessel was carried out by parametric modeling and CFD simulations. At first, the CFD methods for twin-skeg hull form were validated by the comparison with the experimental results.

This short blog shows how the twin skeg can be smartly varied with just 2 parameters.

twin skeg concept applied to large size ships reduces the propulsive power by up to several percent in relation to conventional single screw ships.

Mar 7, 2009 · In this work, hull form design of an ultra-large LNG carrier and flow analysis for the ship using a commercial CFD code (FLUENT) is presented. Emphasis was laid on the derivation of the most critical and practical skeg parameters to achieve the improvement in ship speed.
