AI Technical Summary
When the length of the vessel exceeds that of the floating dock, the propeller hangs outside the water surface, making it impossible to use flatbed trucks and tooling for replacement, which leads to repair difficulties, especially when floating dock resources are scarce, making it impossible to efficiently replace the propeller.
A combination of hoisting lugs, pneumatic hoists, and electric hoists was used to lift the old propeller. By installing hoisting lugs and special lifting rings on the old propeller, and using multiple hoists in coordination, the old propeller was gradually moved from the tail shaft and hoisted to the dock. The new propeller was then installed, completing the replacement operation.
It effectively solved the problem of replacing propellers for large ships in small docks, improved work efficiency, created more output value, and met the needs of energy conservation and emission reduction in ships.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of container ship propeller modification and replacement engineering, and particularly relates to a container ship propeller replacement and installation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the shipping market is highly competitive, and the shipping industry seeks to reduce costs and increase efficiency through technical improvement. At the same time, the global environment is deteriorating, and green new energy ships are increasingly favored. In order to comply with the international trend of development and energy saving and emission reduction of ships, major shipping companies modify the operating ships to reduce transportation costs, save energy, and reduce carbon emissions. By reducing the design speed, adjusting the type of propeller, and adjusting the speed of the main engine, about 8%-12% of fuel consumption can be reduced during operation. The modification cost can be recovered in one year, and long-term economic benefits can be created. The replacement of the propeller of the container ship is one of the important modification projects. Generally, the ship is docked and seated after entering the dock, the entire ship is in the dock, and about 50-60 tons of old propeller is removed from the tail shaft using a flatbed transport vehicle and a tool. About 35 tons of new propeller is transported and installed in place using a flatbed transport vehicle. However, the dock period is tight, and the length of the ship is longer than the length of the floating dock. The propeller is located at the stern of the ship, and the propeller is suspended on the water surface outside the floating dock. Therefore, the flatbed transport vehicle and the tool cannot be used to replace the propeller. In order to solve the problem of replacing the propeller outside the dock, a scientific, reasonable, and safe propeller replacement and installation method is necessary. SUMMARY
