VSP 28R/10
The VSP 28R/10 is a Voith Schneider Propeller that provides instantaneous thrust vectoring for precise maneuverability, ideal for vessels requiring high control at low speeds; source-listed power 2800.0 kW. The supplied category identifies it as Voith Schneider Propeller, and it is normally installed beneath the hull as a vertical-axis cycloidal propulsion unit with multiple vertically oriented blades. In that role, its primary purpose is to generate continuously variable thrust direction and magnitude for propulsion and highly responsive manoeuvring. Unlike conventional screw propellers, a Voith Schneider unit controls thrust by cyclically changing the pitch of vertical blades as the rotor turns. Within the supplied list, this entry is distinguished from neighbouring variants by its model designation and the explicitly listed power; no further model-specific difference is stated in the source. No additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Service & Maintenance
Inspect blade condition, blade bearings and linkages, lubrication, seals, gearbox or rotor support and control response. Trend vibration, temperature and oil condition and investigate changes in thrust response. Underwater blade and housing inspection is particularly important after contact or grounding events. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for blade, bearing, linkage and oil limits.
