Preliminary analysis of speed/power trials measurements indicates an increased propulsive efficiency improvement by 11-13 %. The selection of the Promas Lite system came as a result of close cooperation between Carnival Cruise Lines and Rolls-Royce Marine Services and after extensive laboratory testing at Rolls-Royce Hydrodynamic Research Centre in Sweden. This resulted in an optimized Promas Lite design tailor made to fit the actual operational profile of the Carnival Glory. A new twin 5.8 meter Promas Lite propulsion system has been installed during the ships regular dry docking at Grand Bahama Shipyard in February 2010. The new propeller – rudder system replaces the old five bladed mono-block propellers with modern four bladed Rolls-Royce propellers with bolted blades, hub caps and rudder bulbs, optimized to suit the actual operational profile that utilizes lower speeds than the vessel was built for. The new propeller design is optimized for maximum fuel efficiency and emission reduction. Extensive full-scale testing on Carnival Glory as well as Carnival Freedom has been performed before and after installation of the new Promas Lite propeller system. The preliminary analysis of speed/power trials measurements indicates an increased propulsive efficiency improvement by 11-13 %. The measured improvement is regarded as a success since the fuel consumption and emission is reduced accordingly.

With a prop and rudder system, I can better understand this accident in those winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted December 20, 2019 #45 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The NCL Sun aborted her approach an hour before and skipped Cozumel. She got pretty close to the shallow water nearly running over the anchor buoys used by local excursion boats. The anchor buoys were in her prop wash. She collected herself and decided to move on. MarineTraffic.com shows her track. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted December 20, 2019 #47 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The Legend about an hour before the assault occurred. Glory's original approach from a distance. Right after the crash the Legend had to reset some lines. This was after the crash and near miss as she circled around for a second try. She did a nice turn to expose her stern to us. If at first you don't succeed, try again. Round two the Captain's girlfriend wasn't at the helm so it went a little better. Practice makes perfect. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted December 20, 2019 #50 Share Posted December 20, 2019 @twangster Fabulous photos! Thank you so much. I love the NCL photos, particularly the tracking map showing her turning around and hightailing it out of there. But the many closeup photos of the Glory! 😲 Wow! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
