Does a ship have transmission to run the propeller?

Some ships do. It is called a reduction gear and takes power from the engine and transmits it to the shaft and propeller. Other ships use direct drive, electric motors, steam or other schemes to power the propeller.

What is a twin screw propeller?

A twin screw propeller refers to a propulsion system used in ships and some boats that employs two propellers, each driven by its own engine or shaft. This configuration enhances maneuverability, stability, and efficiency, especially at slower speeds and during turns. Twin screw systems provide redundancy; if one engine fails, the vessel can still operate with the remaining propeller. They are commonly found in larger vessels, such as cargo ships and luxury yachts.

Why ships propeller in stern?

Ships typically have their propellers located at the stern to optimize maneuverability and efficiency. Positioning the propeller at the rear allows for better control of the vessel's direction and reduces turbulence that can affect propulsion. Additionally, this placement minimizes the risk of damage from underwater obstacles and allows for a smoother flow of water into the propeller. Overall, it enhances the ship's performance and stability while navigating.
