Masson Marine’s range enlargement 

Masson Marine recently developed and sold first models of Azimuthal thruster MML55.

Its’ main features are: maximum maneuverability, optimum efficiency, economical operation, Installation to save space in the ship and easy maintenance. A product to be adopted!

Also involved in this product: Propeller pump concept. This new development is increasing propulsion efficiency thanks to a nozzle driving the water, making it rotate and come faster on the whole propeller area.  This process leads consequently to a decrease of the wake effect on the propeller.

Compared to a conventional propeller, the “propeller-pump” concept delivers average propeller efficiency 15% higher, with a diameter 20 to 30% less.
