This paper presents a simulation model, able to describe the dynamic behaviour of a marine propulsion plant under different transient conditions. The propulsion plant comprises different elements (hull, propeller, reduction gear, engine), which are represented using blocks and whose relations between inputs and outputs are described by tables, mathematical operators and algebraic or differential equations. The propulsion system consists of a twin shaft arrangement with fix pitch propeller, driven through reduction gears, by turbo charged medium-speed diesel engines. The model is able to describe the behaviour of whole system giving, as output values, the time histories of all the considered variables: shaft propeller r.p.m. and displacement, the coefficients kT and kQ, propeller thrust and ship resistance, propeller torque, system efficiency and ship’s speed.
