Engine foundation

Requirements of engine foundation
D The engine foundation in the ship must be designed to absorb propeller thrust in both directions and
transmit it to the hull.
D The weight of the drive line and all of the dynamic forces caused by rough seas must be safely
absorbed.
D Hull torsion caused by motion of the sea and load must not be transmitted to the engine. The contact
area between the engine foundation and the hull should be as large as possible.
D The engine foundation must run parallel with the lower edge of the engine base, so that the resilient
engine mounts are not tilted. Engines must not be mounted rigid to the foundation.
