An electrical steering propeller for a seagoing high-speed ship having a polyphase electric motor which is mounted under the stern of the ship via a shaft which can rotate and preferably has two parts in a gondola-like housing, and can be supplied with electrical drive power via a slipring arrangement, and can be rotated via drive motors, wherein the steering propeller is mounted in the stern of the ship via a flat collar bearing ( ) in the vicinity of the outer skin ( ), in particular above the waterline, with the slipring arrangement ( ) being accommodated in the upper part ( ) of the shaft ( ) at the level of the annular bearing ( ), and with the drive motors for the rotary movement ( ) being physically small and being arranged at least partially in the interior of the collar bearing ( ).

Electric rudder propeller of lower installation height

An electric propulsion pod for a ship having a electric propulsion pod heat rejection member. The electric propulsion pod is attached below the ship by a hollow ship access shaft. The electric propulsion pod contains an electric motor for producing a water propulsion. The electric motor generates an amount of heat that is conducted and subsequently released into the water through the electric propulsion pod and ship access shaft surfaces. The heat rejection member is fitted for increasing the conduction and subsequent release of the electric motor heat.
