The new benchmark for propellers
Mecklenburger Metallguß GmbH Ship propellers from MMG have been setting standards for more than 65 years in terms of size, quality and efficiency. The key to our success are individually produced propellers which are in perfect alignment with the vessel type, the engine and the operating profile. The »Efficiency by MMG« label denotes a new generation of propellers, which produce powerful propulsion, save valuable resources, lower costs and reduce CO2 emissions. That’s why »Efficiency by MMG« is also a response to the increasing demands for environmental protection in shipping. Our goal: to make the shipping of today and tomorrow as sustainable and efficient as possible. Our entire business model is oriented around this target – from reasearch over manufacturing up to the final assembly. More information: www.mmg-propeller.de
Van der Velden Marine Systems B.V. Van der Velden Marine Systems is specialist in the area of manoeuvrability for the entire maritime market for more than 50 years now.

Doubly efficient – propeller and rudder in perfect alignment.
Secure a clear competitive advantage – with the innovative 5D Propulsion. By using the latest technologies MMG guarantees design accuracy and ground-breaking production precision – for propellers that are in perfect alignment with the ship‘s operating profile and achieve an unrivalled, high level of efficiency.
More base for perfect designs

lobal challenges require integrated solutions. In its drive to increase the efficiency of ship propulsion and reduce emissions MMG looks at far more than only the propeller itself. In partnership with Van der Velden Marine Systems, MMG has developed a fully optimised propulsion concept: the Energy Saving Package (MMG-espac™). Optimised interaction between propeller and rudder improves propulsion efficiency and manoeuvrability significant. This enables ship owners to save up to 14 % in fuel.
Comprehensive know-how for ground-breaking solution
Fuel saving up to 14 % compared to standard configurations
MMG, the world’s leading propeller manufacturer, and Van der Velden Marine Systems, the rudder technology specialist, have pooled their joint expertise in MMG-espac™, bringing tangible benefits for the shipping industry. Propeller and rudder are developed as an integrated and perfectly aligned system. This results in more efficient propulsion and much lower consumption. An additional plus: the optimised flow behaviour substantially reduces cavitation and, in so doing, extends the operating life of the vessel. For more economical fleet operations.

Perfect alignment of propeller and rudder for optimised flow behaviour, highly efficient manoeuvrability and reduced cavitation
MMG is setting new standards in development and production precision for ship propellers with its innovative 5D Propulsion. The Multidata Design Concept (MDC) facilitates highly accurate designs. We are the world’s only propeller manufacturer to incorporate over 2,000 operating points, e.g. load, draught, drift angle, speed, current, wind and swell on the planned route. Design accuracy down to the smallest detail is guaranteed by Numerical Propulsion Simulation (NPS), Optical Precision Measurement (OPM) and Numerical Controlled Processing (NCP). For maximum efficiency of the MMG-espac™.
More simulation for more efficient solutions
Propulsion for the shipping of tomorrow MMG is continually researching new technologies and methods. We implement our ideas as specific and tangible innovations for shipping. We develop integrated concepts in collaboration with specialists and partners for more efficient mobility at sea.
