Last month the board of MAN Diesel & Turbo approved the company’s take-over of Kappel propeller. The deal included designs, software, and intellectual property, together with continued co-operation with Mr. Jens Julius Kappel.
New fuel-saving and energy-efficient propulsion opportunities are available from the MAN Alpha propeller programme, which now fully integrates the Kappel tip fin propeller blade designs for both controllable pitch propellers and fixed pitch propellers.
The original contract was signed in Copenhagen in February by JJ Kappel and Torben Johansen, on behalf of MAN Diesel & Turbo. JJ Kappel said after the contract signing: “We have had a good co-operation with MAN Diesel & Turbo for almost 10 years, and our joint projects have gone well. I hope that MAN will get the most out of the Kappel technology. Our co-operation does not end here – it will in fact become more intense”.
