Dolprop develops the next generation marine propulsion system: FlukeTech. The fin based propulsion system is based on dolphin biomimicry, leveraging 50 million years of nature's own R&D. Compared with a conventional propeller, FlukeTech reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20%, underwater noise by 90%, and is safer for marine animals. The technology can be retrofitted to engines on small pleasure boats as well as large merchant ships.
