Fixed and controllable pitch propellers for professional vessels
Developed, tested and approved by leading classification societies, including DNV, Lloyd’s Register, RINA, ABS and others. Delivered worldwide.
Made in Norway – quality and environmental responsibility
All our marine propulsion systems and propellers are designed and manufactured in Norway. This ensures full control over quality, materials, and processes — combined with low-impact, environmentally responsible production. The result is equipment built to meet strict standards for both performance and sustainability.

Marine propulsion systems built for long-term reliability
We design and produce fixed pitch propellers, controllable pitch propellers, rudders and parts, with a focus on high-performance, long-term reliability, and low lifecycle cost.
At West Mekan, every solution is engineered to perform in real operating conditions. Our approach combines robust propulsion design with practical experience since 1970, ensuring stable and predictable performance over time.
Our systems are developed in close collaboration with shipowners, shipyards, and naval architects:
Engineered for reliability – stable performance in demanding conditions
Tailored solutions – adapted to vessel and duty profile
Proven expertise – built on decades of hands-on experience
Cost-efficient – optimised for total lifecycle value
We focus on solutions that deliver real value over time — not just on paper, but in continuous operation.
Fixed and controllable pitch propellers built for reliable operation
A well-designed fixed pitch propeller offers high efficiency, mechanical simplicity, and low maintenance. For vessels with stable operations, this is often the most robust and cost-efficient solution.
For more variable conditions, controllable pitch propellers provide flexibility and optimised performance across different operating modes.
Our designs focus on efficient thrust, controlled cavitation, and seamless integration with hull and propulsion system.
Capacity range:
Fixed pitch propellers up to Ø 3.0 m
Controllable pitch propellers up to Ø 2.2 m
