Challenges
Inland navigation vessels, yachts and offshore boats often lack redundancy; they have no safety systems such as an additional screw which ensures operation and maneuverability of the ship in case of failure of a system part.
Another deficiency of conventional drive systems is the lack of precision of the propeller speed regulation via the combustion engine. This may lead to cavitation, and a sudden stop is not possible in hazardous situations.
