Corporate Philosophy

Kamome Propeller is committed to technical development and improvement in production technologies for offering environmentally friendly propulsion systems that support safe sailing.

Since our establishment in 1924 as a specialized manufacturer of marine propellers, we have been engaged in development as a specialized manufacturer of propulsion and maneuvering systems for ships for more than 100 years.
Our mission is “to contribute to the safe operation of ships and energy conservation through highly reliable products.” Based on the fluid technology we have been researching for many years, we are striving to further improve the performance, function, and reliability of our products and trying to enhance our technical development and manufacturing technologies and ensure their reliability.
In order to meet our customers’ needs for propulsion and ship operation, we have a wide range of products such as “Fixed pitch propellers,” “Controllable pitch propellers,” “Side thrusters,” “High lift flap rudders,” “Gate Rudder® systems,” and its related products and have abundant experience and achievements in hardware and software.
In particular, our controllable pitch propellers, of which we have delivered more than 5,500 units, have been highly evaluated for reducing the load on the main engine, extending service life, saving energy, reducing emissions, and ensuring safe navigation and better maneuverability under all sea conditions.
The Gate Rudder® System, a new system that combines high energy efficiency and maneuverability, was designed and commercialized based on a new concept that integrates the propeller and rudder as a single propulsion device, and is used on the various sizes and kinds of vessels.
Net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 is a common goal of the global maritime industry. In the coming era of new fuels, we will continue to contribute to reducing environmental impact and operating costs by reducing fuel consumption, and we will strive to enhance our technology, manufacturing, quality control, and support systems so that our customers can use our highly reliable products with peace of mind for many years to come.
