Technology

Which risk increases when a ship's propeller operates at a high slip ratio in shallow water?

A)Propeller cavitation induced vibration
B)Rudder stall causing loss of control
C)Hull corrosion from accelerated electrolysis
D)Engine overheating due to increased load

💡 Explanation

When propeller slip ratio is high, decreased pressure around the propeller blades creates cavitation because water vaporizes in low-pressure zones, forming bubbles whose collapse causes noise and vibration. Therefore propeller cavitation induced vibration becomes likely, rather than control loss, corrosion, or overheating, which stem from different mechanisms.
