The specialist firm Piening Propeller has cast a pair of new propellers for a 70-metre yacht in-house, keeping up the long tradition of the company with their own foundry. This is also a measure to renew the approval as „foundry of propeller castings” by the classification societies DNV GL and LR EMEA. With a casting capability of 3 tons on their own premises, Piening is capable of delivering ship’s propellers also on short notice. The focus on production and repair services has been the heart of the business since its founding in 1929.
In the beginning (until 1955), the propellers were cast in Neumüster, a town 70 kilometres inland, and then transported to Piening for finishing. Today, Piening is a globally operating company. As expert and ISO certified partners of the commercial shipping and yacht building industries, Piening propellers are internationally recognised for their core values: Reduced noise development, low vibration level and cavitation prevention. First-class production, fast and reliable service and individually specified and produced complete propulsion units including full stern gears have put Piening Propellers at the forefront of highly effective, cutting edge propulsion unit technology. www.piening-propeller.de
