LR issues 2025 Propeller Retrofit Report

Posted on: 12 June 2025

Lloyd’s Register (LR) has issued a new report on the  developments in Advanced Propeller Designs to Ship as part of its Retrofit research programme.

As the maritime industry accelerates toward decarbonisation, retrofitting vessels with energy-saving technologies is becoming a smart, future-ready strategy.

The latest report in our groundbreaking Retrofit Research Programme Applying Advanced Propeller Designs to Ships, explores how optimised propellers and propulsion energy-saving devices (ESDs) can help reduce fuel consumption, meet IMO and EU regulations, and extend vessel viability.

Inside, you’ll find insights on:

  • Fuel and carbon savings with shortened payback periods
  • Regulatory readiness for CII, EEXI, EU ETS, and FuelEU Maritime
  • Market trends and retrofit momentum
  • Technical considerations like vibration, noise, and biofouling
  • Support tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling and structural analysis
