Did you know that a significant amount of energy is lost in the hub vortex behind a conventional propeller?

Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) are designed to interact with this vortex, partially straightening the rotational flow and recovering part of that lost energy. The result?

✔ Reduced propeller torque
✔ Improved propulsive efficiency
✔ Up to 1–2% power savings at given operating conditions

While the gains may seem modest, this simple and cost-effective passive device can translate into meaningful fuel savings and emission reductions over time.

At VICUSdt, we design and optimize propulsion solutions using advanced CFD analysis to ensure measurable, real-world performance improvements.

If you’re looking to improve your vessel’s efficiency, let’s talk.

How can CFD really improve fleet performance — beyond theory and promises?

In this session from the Shipbuilding & Ship Management (SBSM) event organized by Tech 4.0, our Managing Director, Adrián Sarasquete, walks through real applications of CFD for hull optimization, propulsion systems, Energy Saving Devices, and wind-assisted propulsion.

A practical talk focused on real engineering decisions, real data, and real results.

Arrancamos el año con fuerza presentando a Adrián Sarasquete, Managing Director de y una cara más que conocida para muchos de los que nos seguís.

En el video, Adrián nos cuenta sobre sus estudios, su trayectoria profesional, su rol y responsabilidades dentro de VICUSdt, y qué es lo que más le gusta de trabajar aquí.

Quienes lo conocen seguro coinciden: Adrián es una de las razones por las que VICUSdt es tan especial. Sus valores personales forman parte de la cultura de nuestra ingeniería. Gran jefe, gran persona, con una pasión auténtica por lo que hace y cuando las cosas se hacen así, se nota.

Como dato personal, le encanta nadar. Por suerte, tiene la playa cerca, un lugar donde desconecta y se inspira para nuevas ideas.

This year we built a very unique Christmas tree: it’s made from real propellers we designed throughout 2025! From a 6-meter, 5-blade giant at the base to a tiny 0.6-meter propeller as the star, every blade is shown at true scale.

We created a short 10-second simulation showing airflow moving through the “tree” while snow gently falls.

We wish you all a warm, joyful and inspiring holiday season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

That was the we faced when designing a low-noise propeller for an oceanographic vessel built by ARMON SHIPYARDS.

Oceanographic and research ships operate under stringent underwater noise limits (ICES 209) — requiring extreme precision in design to minimize vibration, cavitation, and radiated noise.

Our engineering team at developed a fully optimized propeller design, combining:
▪️ Advanced simulations (resistance, wake, and self-propulsion)
▪️ Geometry tailored to the vessel’s operational profile
▪️ Noise and cavitation-sensitive features like custom sectional profiles and anti-singing edges

✅ The result: compliance with ABS requirements, reduced vibration, better comfort, and underwater noise levels well within ICES 209 standards.

🔊 Underwater noise is more than a technical issue… it’s an environmental one. 🌍

Noise from ships can disrupt marine life, reduce crew comfort, and interfere with onboard sensors.
Understanding how and where it originates — and how to control it — is key to designing quieter, more sustainable vessels. ⚓

In our next – “Silent Propellers”, we’ll discuss real cases from Shipyard, , and — across research, Navy, and USV projects.

📅 Thursday, October 23 | 11:00–11:45 CEST
🎙️ Join Adrián Sarasquete and our panel of experts for a dynamic conversation on how to make ships quieter without compromising performance.

VICUSdt TALKS is here!
A new and more dynamic webinar format where experts bring their real experience and insights straight to you.

📅 Thursday, October 23 | 11:00–11:45 CEST
🎥 Topic: Silent Propellers

Join Adrián Sarasquete (VICUSdt) alongside Santiago Marín (Armón Shipyard), Bienvenido Alonso (Navantia), and Stéphane Vannuffelen (EXAIL) as they discuss the challenge of underwater noise and how it’s shaping propeller and hull design across sectors — from research vessels and Navy ships to ferries, cruise liners, and USVs.

Whether you work in shipbuilding, technical design, or fleet management — or even if your vessels haven’t faced these requirements yet — underwater noise regulations will soon reach more sectors.

🎯 Real insights, real cases, real conversation.
