Company Information
Summary:
Stone Marine Propulsion is one of the world’s leading designers and manufacturers of ships propellers. A pioneer of screw propulsion, the company can trace its history back to the earliest days of propeller manufacturing in the 19th century. Since its founding many of the world’s most famous merchant and naval ships have relied on Stone Marine Propulsion’s technology. The company has a high level of expertise, not just in the designing and manufacturing of propellers, but also in propeller metallurgy and manufacturing technology. Stone Marine Propulsion believes in keeping at the forefront of the latest design technology and manufacturing processes. Its latest and most advanced design, the NPT propeller, was recently launched and is now being proved in service by some of the world’s leading ship owners. Designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by significant amounts this remarkable propeller has several other benefits that only its unique design can provide, not the least of which is it can usually be designed and supplied for the same price, or even less, than a conventional propeller. The company combines the practical knowledge and theoretical understanding of Naval Architects and Engineers which has been accumulated over many years to provide propulsion solutions for the most difficult and testing of applications
The foundations of the Stone Marine Group go back to the early 19th century and Josiah Stone. Stone was arguably the inventor of the screw propeller as it became known. Today the various companies in the Group design and manufacture propellers and all the associated stern gear for virtually any type of vessel, commercial, naval or leisure.
In addition to design and manufacture the companies provide maintenance and repair services plus consultancy services in hydrodynamic and metallurgical technology, ship performance, cavitation and noise and vibration.
The companies operate worldwide with their service engineers on standby to go literally anywhere 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
