Abstract: In this experimental research the effect of type of screw blade, type of stern arrangement, power absorption, draft and number of blades has been investigated for a single screw tanker with a block coefficient of 0.77. The dynamic thrust, torque and bending moments, excited by the propeller in the shaft have been analysed.
