Abstract

A propulsion and drive system for a ship includes an engine, a drive train with transmission gear and main clutch, and a propeller shaft. An auxiliary equipment shaft is connected to that drive train via two branches, geared to the drive on opposite sides from the main clutch; and each branch has its own clutch so that only one branch at a time is effective. The branch on the propeller shaft side from the main clutch is effective during high-speed cruising, the other branch during slow speeds, or even during stopping. The auxiliary equipment is to be run at constant speed throughout. Two different examples are the relative location of parts and the coaxial relation among the three clutches involved.
