Stern gears.

Complete solution tailored to your ship.

For many decades, SCHAFFRAN has been designing and manufacturing ship stern gears with fixed pitch propellers and controllable pitch propellers.

Like our other products, these are used successfully worldwide on many motor and sailing yachts, naval and government vessels, patrol boats and various special ships in the offshore and research sectors. Many merchant ships and fast ferries are equipped with SCHAFFRAN stern gear systems and have been providing reliable service for years. Over the decades, we have continuously expanded our range of services in this area. This enables us to offer you a complete solution with many components specially tailored to your ship.

We would be happy to advise you on your project, answer your questions and prepare a quote for you. Feel free to get in touch.
