alternator shown
BENTLEY MARINE 4MW/5360HP - 850Kg Turbine and Gearbox package weights about 7 tons less than piston Diesel engines of comparable power and about 3 tons less than any other marine gas turbine package of the same power. This ultra lightweight system translates into more boat speed, with more useful interior space and longer cruising range, since you have space to carry much more fuel. Contrary to piston Diesel engines, BENTLEY MARINE gas turbines never smoke, can be started and run at full power in less than one minute and require ten times less maintenance, reducing operating costs.
Next Gen High-Efficiency Ventilated Water Jets:
|
|
Developed by the BENTLEY MARINE Team of propulsion specialists for a leading European Navy, the Ventilated Water Jet is specially attractive for high-speed vessels and as a more efficient alternative to conventional water jets in Air Cavity hulls, where cavitation must be avoided. This propulsion device consists of a slightly curved water inlet of minimum length with a special designed impeller placed directly on the shaft at the outlet right behind the carrier-bearing strut. Contrary to conventional water jets, there are no speed limitations and they operate efficiently through the entire speed range. BENTLEY MARINE Ventilated Water Jets can be designed to be either built into the hull or, externally mounted.

Digital Joy-Stick Propulsion Control Systems:
This sophisticated single lever control system controls thrust direction in 360º, the clutch, engine RPM and pitch control. It can also be interfaced with all other BENTLEY MARINE ship's control systems such as autopilot, dynamic positioning and integrated bridge system.
The integrated joystick also controls BENTLEY MARINE exclusive 360º steerable bow and stern water jet thrusters.
DP3 compatible Next Gen Ship
360º Steerable Bow and Stern Water-Jet Thrusters:
360º Steerable Bow or Stern Mounted
U-Shaped Water Jet
Another exclusive from BENTLEY
MARINE are the compact and lightweight 360º steerable bow and stern water jet thrusters
which, contrary to conventional propeller thrusters, are quiet and vibration free. The
custom-built units are joystick controlled and make the docking of a large vessel a snap!
The units can be powered by lightweight Next Generation Intelligent Modular Electric
Drives shown herein below or hydraulic motors depending on the ship.
360º Steerable Stern Mounted Water
Jet /Rudder Combo
The newly developed stern mounted Water Jet /Rudder Combo is an ingenious solution from Fast Ferry & Ship developer and integrator, John F. Rodrigues. When used with our High-Efficiency Ventilated Water Jets, the system works as a rudder for medium and high-speed cruising or, as a 360º steerable water jet thruster and low speed propulsion for precise docking and maneuvering.

Smart Ship Dynamic
Positioning Systems, Smart Rope and Automatic Mooring Systems:
BENTLEY MARINE
Commercial and Military vessels can be equipped with DP3- Dynamic Positioning and Position
Mooring Systems.
The system combines DGPS technology for positioning, gyros, wind
sensors, depth sounders, navigation computers and BENTLEY MARINE compact 360º Steerable
Bow and Stern Water Jet Thrusters or Cycloidal Rudders to keep the vessel still in a
pre-determinate longitude and latitude without the need of mooring (dropping anchor). It
is also used with the autopilot to keep the vessel in precise heading or follow course.
Next Gen Smart Ship Propulsion:
Cycloidal Rudders:
|
Cycloidal Rudders are a brand new revolutionary concept that incorporates directional rudders, a 360º steerable propulsion system and a pitch and roll motion control system; all in one single unit! Cycloidal Rudders can be installed to work in dual mode on twin screw commercial and military vessels, by having the units installed forward or aft of the propellers (conventional, variable pitch or Ventilated Water Jets), thus working as a high performance rudder at higher speeds and as a vectored 360º thruster and propulsor at lower speeds. When the vessel is at rest, it also works as a much more efficient motion control system than ordinary fin stabilizers, providing a vertical controlled thrust that pushes the starboard or port bottom of the hull up to compensate for roll and pitching. A 20 Knot ship can be designed using Cycloidal Rudders as the only main propulsors, eliminating the need of conventional propellers, bow and stern thrusters.
|
Speed Z-Drives:
|
Those high-tech compact performance units incorporate a built-in gear box, variable pitch propellers and rudders. Speeds over 50Knots are possible with this system which are installed with the propellers facing forward for a pulling effect, instead of a pushing one. Quieter operation and a vibration free.

Gen 360º Steerable
Ship Azimuth Thrusters with Contra-Rotating Propellers & Electric Pods:
|
Those performance electronically controlled contra-rotating Z-Drive units are ideal for large displacement Ships, offering 15% better efficiency than conventional propellers and precise 360º maneuverability. They can be packaged with BENTLEY MARINE's Next Gen Aluminum Diesels & Turbines or with with our Smart Electric, Hybrid, Turbo-Electric or hydraulic propulsion solutions.

Innovative Cavitation-Free Super Propellers:
BENTLEY MARINE Next Gen military propeller specialists and laboratory have developed a new type of propeller which has 4-6% better propulsive efficiency in the 30-60 Knot range when compared to the most modern propellers or water jets available. Depending on the vessel type and dimensions it may save up to 1,000 tons of fuel a year. The design features a 15% increase in diameter and reduced blade area. The elimination of cavitation reduces about twice the pressure pulse level at hull skin which translates in reduced hull vibration and better comfort. The Cavitation Free Super Propeller may also be used on slow speed full displacement vessels with even better efficiency. |

Smart Ship
Controllable Pitch Propellers:
|
Hydraulic controllable pitch propellers are used in some BENTLEY MARINE applications, such as some Hydrofoil designs where Speed Z drives or Water jets cannot be fitted, or would not produce the best performance. In addition to the better use of the engine available power, easy maneuverability is accomplished by keeping the engines RPM fixed at a pre determined speed while varying the pitch controls for precise forward and reverse thrust during dockage. BENTLEY MARINE electronic control module automatically adjusts engine speed in accordance to the variable pitch. |
Commercial and military Next Gen Ships - Line, Net & Weed Cutter:
 |
Standard equipment on all Next Gen Ships. The cutter is ABS approved and eliminates costly dives to cut prop-fouling lines in freezing or high seas and provide long life to the shaft seal units. |
Next Generation Intelligent Modular Electric & Hybrid Propulsion Systems:
|
|
BENTLEY MARINE is pioneering the integration of a new and revolutionary AEPS - Advanced Electric Propulsion System ™, a modular electric drive system that makes lightweight Electric propulsion and power on demand a pure reality. The custom designed system is comprised by ultra-compact and lightweight Diesel or Turbine generators, Lithium Titanate batteries and electric motors, ranging from a small 200kW axial type units to a powerful 35MW Permanent Magnet military ship motors that weights a fraction of conventional systems. The generators and electric motors are completely sealed and corrosion proof. The units can be independently and easily removed for service. For smaller applications our Hybrid-Electric Smart and Modular electronically-controlled generators are integrated into a single gearbox and bolted into the Diesel engine flywheel, thus enabling power on demand in accordance to the ship's electrical or propulsion loads. Maximum efficiency is obtained all the time, as one single Diesel engine serves for electricity and propulsion varying its RPM in accordance to the loads. Applications are endless! Also check out our new Lithum Titanate Battery Packs and Liquid Metal Battery Technologies for Smart GREEN Ships.

Smart Ship Steer-by-Wire Systems:
|
|
BENTLEY MARINE integrates Digital Steering Technology and, in certain applications where the rudder is not part of the propulsion system, compact third generation steering gear units with built-in hydraulic system for simple installation and maintenance are used for very precise and smooth ship maneuvering. |
T-Foil Next Gen Smart Ship Motion Control Systems:
 |
Next Gen fully automatic computerized stabilization systems for monohulls, catamarans, hydrofoils and SWATHs. Each Motion Control System is custom designed for the specific vessel, after carefully evaluating the given motions of the vessel through a computer simulation test. Unlike the common pair of hydraulic actuated fins which can only provide roll control, our aerospace developed systems use avionics software to control roll, pitch, heave and yaw through a series of devices that can include a T-Foil in the bow with a pair of custom vertical trim tabs (shown), a A-Foil Hydrofoil with transom vertical trim tabs (10Knot speed increase with this system) or, a set of vertical "Interceptor" trim tabs amidships and at the transom. The Motion Control Systems can be integrated with an autopilot to provide the ultimate precision in navigation. |
Fully Integrated Smart Ship Machinery Control, Monitoring and Alarm Systems:
|
|
Our aircraft designed touch-screen panels control and monitor all ship systems and integrate all ship controls and monitoring systems, making it possible to control and diagnose more than 700 equipment in one single screen. A normal installation will use 4 to 5 interactive touch-screen panels for back-up and multi-reading. Custom installations allow the crew to access all ship systems from anywhere in the ship, provided they have individual access PIN codes. Another plus of this system is that all data is continuously collected and recorded for easy diagnosis and all ship equipment is wired and inter-connected through a LAN with a single wire to the bridge. This saves miles of wiring harness and lots of money in equipment and installation. |
