Principles: A valid alternative for twin screw single skeg ships, but only at certain speeds and ship

sizes. Create a uniform high wake on propellers [high (1-w)] + minimal thrust deductio n [low (1-t)] = high hull efficiency (1-t)/(1-w) A compromise has to be found with the lower propeller efficiency (Ct increases) and the higher wetted surface (higher frictional resistance). On the other hand twin screw lightly loaded propellers than just a single one., no shaft and 2-3 % power savings. Maneuverability ! (twin rudder with Costa Bulb).
