1. A marine propulsion system, more particularly for a passenger ship, the propulsion system comprising at least one drive shaft (1) equipped with a variable-pitch propeller and directly coupled to a low-speed two-stroke diesel engine (3) serving as the propulsion engine, at least two auxiliary diesel engines (6) each driving a generator (5) being provided for producing electric energy, characterised in that an electric motor/generator (7) is disposed between the ship's electrical system (4) and each propulsion diesel engine (3) and draws power from the ship's electrical system (4) and feeds it to the drive shaft (1) via the crankshaft (9) of the propulsion diesel engine (3), or delivers excess drive power to the ship's electrical system (4). |
