Propulsion: MAN Alpha propeller & aft ship solutions
Full range of MAN Alpha propeller & aft ship products
Discover our versatile propulsion solutions.
Highly efficient and reliable MAN Alpha propulsion
The MAN Alpha CP propeller designs effectively cover a power range up to 40,000 kW per shaft line. With no less than 23 different hub sizes, a cost- and performance-optimized solution is always offered. 3-, 4- and 5-bladed configurations are available.
The MAN Alpha FP propeller designs effectively cover the engine portfolio of MAN Energy Solutions. The propeller series are available in 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-bladed monoblock configurations. For high ice classes, bolted blade designs can be offered.
The MAN Alpha high-performance naval propeller range offers excellent coverage of the very specialized and individual propulsive demands – for example for various ship types, ranging from powerful combat frigates to offshore patrol vessels.
Efficiency-improving devices
MAN Energy Solutions masters a vast number of disciplines in relation to the optimization of aft ship parameters and special installation requirements. The perfected layout and hydrodynamic propeller integration are always ship- and hull-optimized.
The Alphatronic 3000 propulsion control system controls both straightforward CPP and FPP installations and various complex (multi-propeller, DM, DE and hybrid) propulsion application combinations with MAN low-, medium- and high-speed engines.
System competence
A vast knowledge and development base has accumulated during our many years, with a focus on the project planning, design, optimization, sales, order processing, supply, commissioning, and after-sales servicing of complete propulsion systems.
Shaft and stern tube
A wide variety of leak-proof and environmentally friendly stern tube systems are available with our propellers. We provide stern tube solutions for water lubrication and systems approved for lubrication with biodegradable non-toxic lubricants.
An optimal propeller for any application
Flexibility for efficiently covering all propulsion power requirements of MAN’s engine ranges – and for CPPs in particular, the focus is the shaft power range up to 40 MW. The optimized propeller performance from both CPPs, FPPs, and FPPs with replaceable blades and adjustable bolted designs – featuring customized blade configurations – contributes to energy-efficient propulsion with reduced impact on the environment.

Abeking & Rasmussen Order Complete MAN 175D Hybrid-Propulsion Packages for Indonesian Navy Minehunters
German yard, Abeking & Rasmussen, has announced that it has begun the construction of two minehunting vessels for the Indonesian Navy. Each vessel will feature a complete MAN hybrid propulsion package, with:
- 2 × MAN 12V175D-MM engines delivering 2,220 kW at 1,900 rpm
- an MAN Alpha CPP twin screw-propeller system including Alphatronic 3000 propulsion-control system for efficient and flexible maneuvering
- an AKA hybrid PTI system for silent operation while minehunting (slow speed with pure electric propulsion).
Ben Andres, Head of High-Speed Sales, MAN Energy Solutions said: “The 175D engine is ideally suited for demanding naval applications where its compactness and best-in-class fuel-oil consumption are always key criteria for customers. Delivering propulsion packages to these two minehunters also fulfills our ambition to increasingly becoming a supplier of complete solutions. This is the first time that we have worked with Abeking & Rasmussen and I look forward to further developing our relationship in the future.”
This order adds to other 12V175D-MM engines already in operation aboard several other Indonesian Navy patrol vessels.
The new business adds to recent 175D orders that MAN Energy Solutions won late last year, including 16 units for four corvettes for the Finnish Navy; and complete propulsion packages for two OPV-45 offshore patrol vessels – featuring a total of 4 × 175D engines – that are currently under construction at Israel Shipyards in Haifa for an undisclosed African navy.
About the MAN 175D engine
MAN Energy Solutions has developed the MAN 175D engine range to supplement and complete its product portfolio in the maritime sector. In three variants of 12, 16 and 20 cylinders, the engine is available with an output ranging from 1,500 to 4,400 kilowatts and is optimised for propelling ferries, offshore supply vessels, tug boats and other working vessels. Other market areas, such as super-yachts and naval marine applications are also served by additional, specialist model versions.
It is also an extremely eco-friendly engine, being designed from the outset with compliance to the latest, as well as future, exhaust-gas-emission requirements and utilises a very compact and flexible SCR system, which enables vessel designers to optimise space on board to the maximum.
