Damage to propellers from ice, debris and corrosion can be a costly fix. Speaking more on this topic at next week’s Ship Repair USA conference on June 20-21 in New Orleans is Adam Kaplan, chief technology officer with TrueProp Software LLC.

Kaplan will go over the symptoms and impacts of a damaged ship propeller, how propeller damage is quantified and measured, and how to repair propeller damage.

The New Hampshire-based company has provided yards around the world with propeller inspection and repair software solutions, with a focus on 3D scanning of propellers since 2017. The software, which will be demonstrated at the event, provides customers with high quality analysis, repair guidance, and compliance reports.
